According to
my system of statistics, as of this morning some 299,692 people have died of
coronavirus in the US. This number is hard to imagine. It is as if everyone in
Anchorage, Alaska, Bakersfield, California, or Anaheim, California died.
Please allow me to put a human face to
all this death and suffering. Tom Meyer is a man from Ohio. He recently died at
age 71 due to coronavirus. His story was on television last night. It was told
through the eyes of his loving daughter. He was in the hospital for blood
pressure problems. He was diagnosed as Covid-19 positive. He went to the ICU.
He stayed there for some time. He was on ventilators. He technically died two
times. He was able to leave the ICU and was discharged from the hospital. He
was sent to a nursing home to finish his recovery. His prognosis was positive.
Unexpectedly he died. He never got to see his new-born granddaughter.
