Even when I started this thread, just 17 months ago, I was just starting to see it, too. I'm afraid that's where everywhere is headed, but I sincerely hope to be wrong. Maybe I just, somehow, have a seriously unhealthy cohort of friends and family, even though they mostly eat healthy, hike and work out a lot, etc.
I mean, if we take my wife's friend here, she lives in California, eats super healthy, is probably a medically perfect weight, goes to the gym every morning etc. This is not the person you would suspect to have health problems outside of a raging pandemic.
