    that is so sad. i reflect on how utterly tragic it must have been for them to die alone, without any loved ones in attendance for nearly all of their period of illness. no human touch of comfort or opportunity to remissness a lifetime of shared memories with those they experienced them with. alone.

    @SlyPokerDog still, even cold, there are UV rays. I’m not 100% sure why the virus spreads though. I guess we’ll be seeing soon.

    Very fucking sad and we would all do well to remember each of those bags was a life. A life just as valuable and as meaningful as yours, mine, or any of us on here. There are a lot more bags than that. More bags everyday because of this virus.

    I can't imagine having to die alone like that, asphyxiating to death as the virus ravages you. The fear they must have felt. My God. And there are people on here who would trivialize those deaths.

    It is brutally awful, but i am hoping they were treated with medical intervention at the end so they didn’t feel the pain you suggest. Most people who are actively dying are given some form of comfort care - and I sure hope all these older folks got that in the end. It’s very sad.

    What exactly was she screaming about? The person in scrubs was waiting for the walk signal. Look at the traffic lights.
