This just hurts my heart so much...I could never figure out how one "illness" took precedence over the other. So many who were unable to get diagnosed when they knew something was wrong and others who were denied treatment they were already getting - because they were afraid of the spread of COVID. I also never understood closing "non-essential" businesses. Who decided what was/was not essential? So "they" closed down a mom/pop shop that stayed alive with 8-10 customers a day and put them in mass numbers (often standing outside in lines 6' apart) in businesses "they" deemed acceptable where they were instead at more risk of spreading germs. The whole episode in history is shameful. RIP Ananda... you didn't deserve this ending.
