Covid Care Network establishes online Covid Memorial to commemorate lost lives to pandemic
February 01, 2021 Covid Care Network (CCN), an online portal developed by Dr. Abhijit Chowdhury, will commemorate the lives lost to coronavirus by maintaining a web repository called National Covid Memorial.
The repository was made available for the public from 30 January 2021, as per the official release. This online portal will be used for all the Covid warriors who have lost their lives battling the pandemic. The portal is run by a team of good Samaritans who have assisted thousands of Covid patients during the pandemic.
CCN is a non-government organisation, structured as a framework of Covid survivors and their family members. This includes individuals from different walks of life, physicians, health workers involved or willing to get associated in integrated Covid-19 care.
An online memorial dedicated to the memory of those who died of Covid-19 was launched on Saturday, creating a space where a kin of the deceased can write a tribute for the departed.
The website, www.nationalcovidmemorial.in, began with tributes to 31 people.
The creators of the National Covid Memorial urged the kin of those who died to send tributes for their loved ones. In India, 1,54,147 people died from Covid-19 India till 6pm on January 30, 2021, according to the website of the Union ministry of health and family welfare.
The tribute, within 200 words, and photograph will be published on the site. The idea to build the online memorial came to its creators after seeing the helplessness of the families of the deceased who could neither visit the hospital during the person’s illness nor could go for the funeral in the first months of the pandemic. Things changed from mid-September, when the state government started handing bodies to the family.
A family s holiday party in Milmont Park, Delaware County, turned out to be its own superspreader event. I remember the first time I went to Elmhurst Hospital and heard the stories from the doctors and nurses of how shocked they were, it was like a thief in the night, just literally the way of imagining how much damage how much pain could be caused, de Blasio said.
In the past year, there s never been a national period of mourning until Tuesday night.
In the twilight of a whole era in American politics, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris devoted this night to the victims of COVID.
