There’s no escaping it – 2020 is the year of the pandemic, and there are very few places that haven’t been affected. But how badly have the Amish been hit, considering merely washing your hands is a complicated chore? Well, apparently, while there’s still no irrefutable evidence that they’re contracting COVID-19 at higher rates than other Americans, there are some signs that they might be.
Beyond that, Amish customs are problematic, pandemic-wise. When there’s a funeral, for example, the entire church sits with the family for one or two full days. Coupled with longstanding aversion to hospitals, and the Amish might have a problem.
