Well to play devils advocate here, I actually know a bunch of people who had, I mean just do the math. Assuming the deaths aren't inflated and there's actually a 99.97% chance of surviving that means that roughly 3 out of every 10,000 INFECTED people die from covid (Multiply .9997 by 10,000). So even if EVERYONE you knew was infected it would be extremely unlucky to know someone that died from covid.
Same. I know a bunch of people who have had covid. I've only heard of one person who died (and it was through a coworker's in-law's friend's parent who was morbidly obese with diabetes and 80 years old - and even then someone in the telephone game could be full of BS). Through Six degrees of separation you probably know one person but that just speaks to how rare it is.
