I don’t think you live in the US. There is a huge push back to not build data centers here. You probably don’t hear about that. L
There was also an unusual pattern of deaths in which members of the same family died only a few days apart. This is something that seasonal flu had never caused, at least here in Brazil. That old statistic stating that COVID progressed to a severe form in about 20% of infected people, on average, did not translate into a very reassuring reality when more than one person in the same family was facing a serious risk of death and even requiring ventilatory support.
It was severe. You are right. My husband and I were not vaxed. We suffered from Covid at the same time. He was drastically ill. I prayed every day that he would not die. We were at home. We could not function for almost a month. My son brought supplies and left them outside. I ordered groceries delivered from the market down the road. It was not the flu.
