The COVID-19 pandemic has been most frequently portrayed through numbers: the number of new cases a day, the number of people hospitalized, the number of deaths. It can be difficult to force yourself to face that behind each of those numbers is a person, with their own lives, legacies, and families.


Alex Goldstein, a strategic communications specialist, doesn’t want those people to just become data points and statistics, so he created a Twitter account called @FacesOfCOVID to share the stories of those who have died from COVID-19.


This moving Twitter account puts faces to the coronavirus statistics

Thank you for posting this Twitter account @Windsorite and for posting all the people you have found that have very sadly died.

May Lolita Torres and Louis Torres Rest In Peace

A Queens man lost his mother and brother to the coronavirus — within a single tragic day, he told The Post on Friday.


“It’s been devastating,” Lloyd Torres, 49, said through tears. “For those who are walking around thinking life is still normal — it’s not.”

Torres, a hospital administrator at Columbia University Irving Center, said his 73-year-old mom Lolita and 47-year-old brother Louis, a nursing-home worker, started feeling sick at the home they share in Briarwood on April 1.

I've followed these people (due to ancestry stuff) but most followed them for their antiquities youtube posts. Sadly, one of their parents died from Covid.


People are people and we all suffer from loss of loved ones.
