now is hella worse in every way than the 80's. I was just speaking to the pandemic not being a blanketed hell moment for all. Not everyone felt the death toll effects of covid, no doubt they heard and saw on tv and probably even got sick but it wasn't the same for every household and family.

Personally I don't know of anyone that passed from covid, however I know many people who were sick and recovered and maybe one person who developed long-term covid. That doesn't take away from the devastation that others went and are still going through, cause everyone's situation was and still is different.
