HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - In September of last year, Franklyn âJuniorâ Naone lost two of his younger siblings to COVID â a tragedy so unimaginable heâs struggled to talk about it publicly.
His younger brother, Daniel, died on Labor Day at just 54.
Sister Kamelon âKammyâ Garvida was 55 when she died a week later.
âI couldnât even say goodbye to them because they were hooked up to the ventilators,â Franklyn Naone said, speaking at his Kaneohe home on Friday.
My Mom Died of COVID, I m Now Caring for My 5 Siblings Vanessa Perez On 2/13/21 at 5:34 AM EST
My siblings and I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with our mom, and until last year we were a family of seven; at 25, I am the eldest and then Carlos is 23, Russvel is 20, Eduardo is 17, Robert is 15 and my little sister Melanie is 6. Our mom, Mayra Millan, was an essential worker at a local grocery store and had been working throughout the pandemic, so we think she came into contact with the COVID-19 virus while working.
On November 22, we started quarantining as a family and Mom then received her positive result on November 26. So, my siblings and I then got tested too and we all, except Robert, then tested positive for COVID-19.
Black holes are prisons of light. They are both metaphor and physical entity, mute commentary on what is known, unknown, and unknowable. Well-studied but poorly understood, like a virus.
What happens gravitationally if you squeeze the mass of an object to a point? This was Karl Schwarzschild’s question while stationed at the Russian front of the First World War. You get a point of no volume and infinite density a singularity. It would be surrounded by a region where nothing, not even light, could escape. This boundary became known as the event horizon because no event within the boundary could be observed from outside.

Happy February to you all. You may be asking: “What is so happy about February when Covid-19 is still lurking about and the Internet is buffering?”
To me, it is because we have (in some way) successfully skirted the election brouhaha without violence materialising; even at the expense of a widespread Internet shutdown that temporarily left us in the dark ages.
Before that, I was genuinely afraid, like many others, of possible violence. The possibility of becoming a refugee lingered in my mind. Many countries in this continent have suffered due to such storms. What makes us any different? We are all third world anyway.
SIBU: A jobless man has been arrested for allegedly beating his sister so severely that she was left paralysed from the waist down.
The 49-year-old victim is scheduled to undergo surgery on Wednesday (Feb 3) but doctors at Sibu Hospital have said that there is only a slim chance that she would recover her mobility.
Sibu OCPD Asst Comm Stanley Jonathan Ringgit said the incident took place at the siblings family home in Jalan Sungai Antu on Jan 22.
He said that at about 3pm that day, the 44-year-old suspect asked the victim for money. She refused and when he kept asking for it, she grabbed a broom to hit him. However, the suspect grabbed the broomstick and hit her on the head, body and back, ACP Stanley said.
