It's been a little over 13 months.
USA pop 331,700,000 covid deaths 572,155 = 1 in 580 people
We know now the odds of dying from/with covid in last 13 months was
1 in 580
Is Joe Biden's statement, that everyone has lost a friend or family member to covid
a fact or political exaggeration?
Average wedding size in USA is 150 people, funerals average 50.
Giving the benefit of doubt I used 193 for the average number of friends and family.
odds of having a friend or family member die from/with covid, 1 in 3
(193 in 580) aka 3-1 odds
I used 193 for round number, if only 150 F & F then the odds increase to 3.87 - 1
Even if you have 290 friends and family members the odds are still 50/50 that you have not lost a friend or family member to covid.
odds of 4 dear friends or family member's covid deaths 1 in 240
rare but it does happen
odds of you and spouse having the same birthday 1 in 365
