I was going to say that deaths are surely down relative to a year ago, but this isn't really the case. As Frank says, the real question is whether you are part of the general that the deaths are happening in, or whether you are part of some other general, so that you can uncomfortably feel like your odds of being infected and noticeably impacted by covid are small, even though your status as a fair die remains fraught.
