Most people know more than 300 people. Statistically, almost everyone had someone they know as an acquaintance, co-worker, friend or relative die from COVID
Homie think about all the students in your classes you did a project with, all the randos at some party you hit it off with one night and forgot about, all the middle aged co-workers, all your friends parents growing up, teachers at your school. It adds up quicker than you realize, even for friendcels
Uhhh… annoying uncles who married your dad’s sister. Social workers and doctors assigned to you. Grindr hookups. Idk. We meet way more people than we realize.
If a person knows 300 people, and both deaths and the friend group are uniformly distributed (ofc a bad assumption), there would actually be a ~63% chance of knowing at least one person who died of covid. The probability of knowing at least one person that dies is 1-((n-1)/n)^n ( ((n-1)/n)^n being the probability that all n people do not die), since n is large it's roughly approximated by (e-1)/e, or 63%
1 in 300 roughly

63% = almost everyone
Talk in vague and qualified ways, rarely be wrong
