Sociologists at Penn State and the University of Southern California came up with a “bereavement multiplier,” a way to calculate how many close relatives each covid death leaves behind and bereft. The answer, on average, is nine — not including extended family or close friends, longtime co-workers or next-door neighbors, many of whom, the study said, are deeply affected, too.
The worst of it is the voluntary covid orphans – children who lost an unvaccinated parent or caregiver to COVID after the vaccine was readily available to all in May of last year.
