This week was one of the deadliest the nation has ever seen. These are the stories of front-line workers and victims across America.
These are some of the unusual new scenes across the Southland in the age of the coronavirus outbreak.
At Sinai-Grace Hospital, some patients now lay in converted hallways and waiting rooms, with tubes bringing ventilated air to them from occupied rooms.Almost every hour, Dr. Tolulope Sonuyi dials a family member, knowing they’re desperate for information.Heart and lungs have stopped working. Deceased.
“It’s a devastating compound effect,” Sonuyi said. “The communities that enter the fight the sickest and least-resourced are going to fall faster and harder.”‘The elders among us deserve everything we have to give them’ Still, the overall number of deaths has been declining in Washington state even as those in King County remain high, at an average of 11 a day in AprilMunanga, a registered nurse, credits sanitation and screening, and quick testing of all residents and workers for the coronavirus, with containing an outbreak that imperiled the facility’s 80 residents.
“The elders among us deserve everything we have to give them,” Munanga said. “We should be diligently and passionately supporting them — until the very end, if we must.”The Rev. Dr. Rachelle Zazzu put it plainly: she is in “the epicenter of the epicenter.”She works as the only chaplain at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Queens, N.Y. A triage tent is erected outside.That used to mean ministering bedside to patients or in waiting rooms to families.
It did not hit Melita Nichols until she stepped into her daughter’s small duplex apartment and saw her pajamas on her unmade bed and packs of Theraflu and Benadryl scattered on her headboard.Like with so many families, closure escaped Nichols. Both she and her daughter, Qunia Roberts, were hospitalized in Albany, Ga., three weeks ago after being infected with COVID-19. But while Nichols, 48, recovered and left the hospital with an oxygen tank, Roberts, 27, died Monday.
