Shortly before Christmas, Flor Betancourt visited her neurologist for a routine appointment. She couldn’t help but mention that her younger brother died of COVID-19 last spring, and hadn’t called or texted her to say goodbye. Since last April 26, she’d been torturing herself and everyone she knew with the same question: Why hadn’t Juan called her from the hospital or answered her calls?
‘These numbers are people’: How Covid-19 death data honors lives lost
On April 16, Angelina Proia was one of thousands of people tuned in to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s daily Covid-19 briefing. That day early in the pandemic, the news was encouraging; graphs flashed across the screen showing hospitalizations were down, along with ICU admissions, there were fewer deaths than the days before, and the message was “we can control the beast.”
But for Proia, it couldn’t get worse. That morning, she lost her dad, Richard Proia, a fun-loving, kind-hearted and otherwise healthy 66-year-old, to Covid-19.
She wanted to see those numbers cross her screen, though, because she knew her dad was part of them. She wanted his loss to be acknowledged and her experience to be validated.
