MONTGOMERY, Ala. — William Boyd was at the funeral Saturday morning for a relative who had died after contracting the new coronavirus when he got the call with the news. His brother had also passed away from COVID-19.
As of Saturday, Alabama had more than 29,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with more than a quarter of the cases reported in the last two weeks. “Our family won't be the same. ... I don’t want it to be anybody else. I don’t want anybody else to feel the way I feel. I don’t want anybody else to go through what my family has gone through,” Coleman said.
When her father and sister went into the hospital, they were immediately put in isolation and the family never spoke to them again. They didn't even get a chance to say goodbye by phone.
