Some 660,000 people have died so far from Covid-19, according to official statistics. They have died alone, and their loved ones have mourned in isolation. Poor, rich, young, old, famous - the virus doesn't discriminate. Even caretakers, doctors and nurses who were there to help have succumbed to the illness. France, Spain and other countries have held public memorials to honor the dead whose departure has been especially difficult for loved ones. Many have not had an opportunity to say goodbye. And thousands have been buried in mass graves. The coronavirus was unexpected and fast – changing our lives and the world. How do you grieve when bedside visits and funerals are banned?

My dad passed away from covid 19 infection we knew he was sick we tried to help him in any way possible he was a doctor and knew that this was the real thing so when times got hard he bought himself the drugs alleged for Corona and started to take it but at one night he couldnt breathe i spend the night next to him crying for help and when he got to the hospital he was put on a ventilation machine and stayed there for about a month 21 days after that he developed pneumonia they tried to put him off the machine but his heart stopped and they couldn't save him.. Im just soo sad and angry and i dont know what to do i feel this world is corrupted by this virus but only good people suffer and leave...
Grief can be really hard at times but this time is not like any other i know that.. The problem is that you are alien to the people around you no body can feel this.. They pretend to do but no one really feals this i just wish theres a reason for all of this, i hope this whole thing comes to an end maybe then i get to rest from the sufferimg of living in this crasy universe

I lost my beautiful mum from covid. The way we loose a loved one from covid is inhuman, everything from not being with them in the last few days, not being able to comfort other family members, not even to be able to have a proper funeral service. Its just so cruel. We're in a pandemic but we're also in a grief pandemic. If anyone wants to chat I'd love to hear from you 💗

#askDerrick another decrease in flu in Southern Hemisphere is due to massive increase in flu vaccine in NZ and Australia as preparation for covid pandemic.

Since virus enters the body through the NOSE, why all this fuss to protect the skin and no move to sanitize the nose?

Talk about solutions not just scaring people! Not vaccine of course.

Even more reason to vote for Joseph Robinette Biden in November 2020. He's going to bring back dignity to the elderly.
