Our tiny town of 500 people has been hosting death since Dec of 2021. In Jan of the new year we have lost about 4 people a week thanks to Covid. I knew it would happen after the holidays and people traveling again. And it is not just old ones but babies, children and mid life ages. They say it is flu, car crash anything but what it really is, Covid. I think we are the only ones who got vaccinated in our town.
Also, many new families have arrived buying up land from out of state. But the 4 a week death average has not slowed down. And the local funeral homes have been very busy.
I think every single family in our town has had a death in the new year.
Also, empty shelves at the local supermarkets is a first for us. It is mostly processed foods that are missing like pizza, frozen foods, prepared meals but also butter, bread, drinks, sandwich meats are all lacking. Animal feed and seed prices have tripled in price this February.
I am looking forward to planting green beans, tomatoes and other veggies in March. Luckily meat prices are locked is as we buy locally raised beef. Will be interesting to see how our country does as the seasons warm up and people get back to travel and living after a pandemic.
