For example, for churches that remained open for worshippers and didn't require masks it is possible that they lost up to 1/2 of their people over 45 years of age. On one level this isn't surprising simply because of the basic statistics of 71% of the people who died were over 65 and 21% of the people who died were from 45 to 65 years of age. So, especially during Delta where the most people seemed to die this was true. I know of more than one church that lost about 40% of more of their people over 45 to Covid.
At this point science has won out on every level. It's great to believe in all sorts of things but not believing in science during a pandemic is a good way to wind up dead.
It reminds me a lot of how people wouldn't go to the doctor and often died in the church I was raised in during the 1950s and early 1960s. I watched people die form their twenties on up a lot in my church simply because they didn't believe in Doctors.
So, it's eerie in a way to watch this happen once again during Covid.
The other eerie thing about all of this is since Church going people often didn't get tested when they died they wouldn't necessarily be counted as covid deaths either.
Then you have the CDC saying the number of Covid deaths over 1 million is likely 10 times that number not only here in the U.S. but worldwide.
So, if I take this seriously it means that the tested and untested that died in the U.S. from Covid is not 1 million people it's 10 million people and the real number worldwide is not 5 million people but 50 million people.
However, this also makes sense because the Spanish flu in 1918 to 1920 killed 650,000 Americans and 50 million people worldwide then too.
