has been publishing touching tributes for the thousands of Canadians who have died of COVID-19.
Your tributes put a face to some of the more than 25,000 Canadians who have died of COVID-19 (“They Were Loved,” Coronavirus, July 2021).

My disabled brother was misdiagnosed with an eye infection and was nearly blind when my sister got him to a specialist.

On February 11, one of Ontario’s top doctors gave us a bleak picture of the province’s COVID future.
Dr. Adalsteinn Brown, co-chair of Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, and Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s chief medical officer, unveiled modelling data that indicated the province was heading to a third wave, spurred by new variants, and that cases would rise dramatically unless stay-at home orders continued.
