Sad COVID-19 story, Episode 3,567,489: [View all]

I am acquainted with a gentleman who is a world-renowned voice teacher, opera expert, and singer. He informed me the other day that he had been hospitalized for over three weeks, had nearly been placed on a ventilator, but did manage to fight his way back to life.

He cannot walk more than a block without having to stop, He can no longer sing, his entire existence in life has changed utterly totally and completely. He will be able to judge opera and vocal competitions, but he must needs re-orient his entire way of teaching and communicating.

If all that is measured is the deaths, then the real losses from the Trumpandemic will never be tallied.
