2 Degrees of Separation COVID

So I'm medical professional, I diagnose and prescribe, and have a general education in medicine, but specialize in psychiatry (as my name on here would suggest).

I speak to about 60 patients per week. Guess what? Not one has reporting having had COVID. Many are obese, smoke, diabetic, etc., and yet none of them have it. I've been asking pretty much everyone too.

Interestingly enough, it sounds like everyone KNOWS SOMEONE, who KNOWS SOMEONE, who had COVID, but people tend to not know someone directly.

I would have thought that 6 months into a declared "pandemic" that a.) I'd know someone personally in my life who had COVID, b.) that one of my patients would have knowingly had it. Oddly enough, neither has happened.

It's just so fascinating to me that by and large, 6 months in, we're all still 2 degrees of separation from someone who died of COVID. Guess what? We could say the same thing about seasonal flu and cancer.

For the record, COVID exists, but it isn't the plague the government wants us to believe. 6 months into the Spanish (also Chinese) Flu, we'd all know many people who died, and probably would've had it ourselves by now. Today, the world is far more connected and yet my local hospitals are able to constrain all of their inpatient cases to just a couple of hospital units for the whole metro area.
