Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
I feel absolutely terrible for everyone who’s lost a loved one or lost their life to this horrific virus.
They should've stayed at home instead of being out protesting people going back to work so they can feed their kids.
Do you feel the same way, everyday with the 2.9 million people die per year in America? No, you only care because some mainstream media source cramatizes the death of some random person. Get over yourself, stop being a drama queen.
@@bigphillyed Why are you attacking me? And is it that hard to be at least somewhat empathetic? I think it's you who needs to get over themselves.
@@Covid--ts5cw What are you talking about? What makes you think that anyone in this family was "out protesting"? You know nothing about this family. How unkind you are to say such a thing!
@@bigphillyed As much as I understand your need to voice your opinion, I would request you to spread your vitriol somewhere else. Maybe Alex Jones is more to your liking.
💔🥺”get up my queen The flowers are starting to bloom”😢😥😭
Rose Sables this is where I lost it. 😢
🌹🌹🌹🌹😭
My flowers is dead because golf ball sized hail killed them
sus box stay safe during tornado season bud
I balled out 😭😭
And people still say “it’s nothing and has a 99% survival rate” but if this is the cost for the 1% who doesn’t, it’s not worth ignoring! What happened to the empathy for humanity these days.
The loss of empathy in today's society is alarming. There's this pervasive idea that old or sick people are dispensable, or that they don't hold value, and that their deaths are par for the course. It's terrifying how selfish and stubborn some people are, especially when their selfishness affects those around them.
Scattered to the winds. Decent humanity may no longer exist if things don't change quickly
Exactly my thoughts....
@@jeeither The empty space that is left when Abuela Carmen dies shows how vital a person she was, how much she was integral to her families' lives, and belies this idea that "old people" are valueless.
How could one look at all those generations of people, in different countries, all deeply bound to her and think it's ok for someone her age to die of a virus rather than years later of something more natural.
It makes me very sad how right you are about a seeming lack of basic empathy for the loss of such important lives.
I´ts allways painfull when old people have to go. But the numbers are still valid. And if this is so bad with the virus, than it should be also with all other things leading to death. Most of them are man made. I feel sooo sorry for this peaple, but thats how live goes. If you reached a certain age, you will go, and the starting point is in most cases an infection. I don´t like those videos because they tell you only one truth and the mauch bigger other side is faded out. this videos tell you, that the death will come over all of us and that it will be bad, but this is not the case. this is simply not true. 99,4 - 99,9 % will not die. thats a fact.
I’m an old guy at 75 years old but this one made me cry like a baby.
Michael, you're not old at all. You're 75 years young.
Oh...give me a break! When it's your time to exit, be happy about it. You live a long life and enjoyed spending money.
@@Alec-Al same goes for your father
Emotion is okay, but common sense is most important. Do you really think that those whose loved ones die from cancer or perforation of an ulcer are not so worried? Because of this crownobscurantism, those who really need to be rescued and helped do not receive medical assistance. Because of this crownobscurantism, my acquaintances have a 15-year-old son who died from a perforation of an ulcer, and I know many similar cases. The death of a loved one is always a great loss, but this is part of life and this is normal, it is not normal what is happening in the world now because of the virus, from which fewer die than the WHO mortality rate from influenza, 3.2%
@@tashasworld585 ohhhhhhh violation 🤣🤣🤣
We need to humanize those numbers so people can understand why healthcare workers keep asking people to stay home and wear mask.
Look at the riots now, second wave here we come ..😔😔😔
Not anymore, apparently wearing masks can keep you from getting it no matter how close you stand to each other. The protests didn't cause any spikes according to the news today.
Looks fake to me.
Rioters Aren't Protesters Yes that’s the other side of it.
not telling only cnn would say that.
It's been 11 days since I lost my wife and daughter due to covid she is 6 months pregnant for our first baby we've been together for 8 years, we just got married last June everything seems to be going well this year until this happened! The pain is killing me everyday, I've lost my purpose in life she is the one who always motivates me to do best with everything, I've worked hard to make sure that I can provide everything that they need but all of this is nothing without them! God knows I love them more than everything!
I'm not sure if I can survive this, no one understands the pain that ive been going through everyday! Life is hard!
I’m sorry u can get through this
Be strong and brave. You have purpose in life and the world is united in showing support. I know it is very painful but God has purpose for you.
Oh, jeez man. I can't imagine what you're going through. It's impossible to be strong after two of your loved ones fell ill. But you really have to take care of yourself. Get a therapist. Remember them like you're leaving a beautiful place.
My sincerest condolences... they are in Heaven together. They are watching over you as we speak. Stay strong 🙏🏻
Aaahw Kirk, I have no words and I am very sorry for your loss. Sending a big hug from Czech Republic!
My god this hits so much different when you understand the language instead of reading the subtitles. The emotions each word conveys is just heartbreaking, at least she had someone there to hold her hand as she slipped away.
Beautiful comment..Unfortunately couldn't understand the language but what's worse the tears in my eyes made it so hard to read,when I did read my queen I lost it. I hope this family is doing well. 🙌
@@luvmibratt yes, same here I cried my eyes out. I truly hope they are doing better, after all they lost the matriarch of the family and you can tell she was loved by her family.
@@esperanzaarce9563 Definitely love
I just lost my father in law caused of covid.unpredictable loss.we are oversea couldn’t see him or talked to him of his last breath.no pain can’t compare.separated no funeral is allowed now.
100 percent! I’m not even fluent and I don’t think the translations did it justice.
If you think this was tough, just think about the nurses and doctors that have had to go through this every single day
Republicans are super pro-business to the point that it's highly unusual compared to other countries. They will just say "nurses/ doctors should just do their job because they're getting paid for it." It's sociopathic behavior.
This is their job, they had to understand what profession they chose! For doctors, death and the danger of infection are the norm of their life!
@@user-cp3hv7ii6o what a stupid thing to say... Just because we're doctors or medical stuff can we hadle death..?? It's our job?... Do you think is easy to watch people suffer, try to heal them but in the end die?? Do you know how hopeless we feel many times? Do you know how much effort we put on daily basis? Our job my foot.... Such idiotic comment...
@@user-hl4vl8qd7h exactly. My mother is a retired ICU nurse, and she always warned me against being a doctor or nurse. “Being a nurse will break your heart long before it breaks your body”. She still has nightmares of some of her patients dying, or has nightmares of her family members sedated and connected to machines.
She has held so much trauma from years of nursing, and she retired just before COVID happened. Her heart is broken for all the doctors and nurses who have had to work through the pandemic.
@@katyalupochev9589 thats true! It's our job but what it means we knew... When I hear that I want to heat someone... As a doctor in emergency and now in covid ICU I overwork under terrible situations for 2 years!! My body is so so tired and many of us have phsylological problems!! We have to many patients, no beds and we're at the point of choosing who's gonna live or dye.. As for retirement... still so far away... Your mother has right! If you want to have a true life quality dont become a doctor, nurse... Or else prepare yourself for many hardships.. Stay safe!
This is the kind of news we need, that humanise all those numbers that are shown on tv without giving much thought to every individual that's going through this illnes
Oh really? So then we must televise every one of the 2.8 million Americans that die every year. I mean we should humanize natural and accidental death of everyone by your opinion. We have yet to reach the average influenza deaths per year, yet I do not see you HUMANIZING their deaths. I will never understand where you people come from.
Yeah these humans were given no dignity
Not even a name!

@@jennyhildebrand9335 okay tinfoil karen.
@Jonathan Cesari won't, the average influenza deaths per year over the last 10 years is 77K, with 200K hospitalized. Nice try tho, 12,000 to 61,000 maybe try and come up with a reasonable median. Smh. By the way the last 4 years the flu shots have not worked as they are a newer stand. But I guess you knew that already. 38,000 Americans die in automobile accidents per year with 4.4 million injuries, so should we shut everything down and stop people from driving? Grow up.
@@jennyhildebrand9335 what are you talking aboutwho murders babies in NY
So many people go "it only kills old people", this video showed the depth it affects people both young and old. What a wonderful caring family she had.
And they say that ("it only kills old people") as if that's just fine. Old people are why young people walk this planet. They have decades of strength and wisdom to offer. And have just as much value as anyone else. It's amazing how many people think they will never get old, or if they do they won't look or act old. We all get That wake-up call sooner or later. Later If you are lucky.
My mother in law died 2weeks ago from this . My wife also same week almost sent me to the hospital due to covid. Lost weight due to not eating and skin turned yellow she said and my heart rate was low and not able to breath. There were times I about blacked out. I had to muster my strength to help her dying mom get help. Unfortunately she died 2days later in the hospital
THIS VIDEO IS A LIE. AND I SUSPECT YOU ARE A HIRED AGENT
@@matlabatt the only lie here is you being worth something
@@ima_psykopathpsn8411 you should. Stay on the PlayStation where you know what's what. Leave the reality and political science for the grown ups. You get your health advice from a pop up ad? Lol
Sadly people still dont believe this is real. My heart and prayers go out to the families that have lost their loved ones from this horrible virus.
If only there was something that would lessen the effects 😕
@@tross8863 🐑🐑
This is real belive me im on 12 day tested positive coronovirus i have been very ill 53 underlying health issue completky stopp eating i ate yes today cud not eat or take fluid chest pain cud not breadth 3day die i cried 3 whole days avoided hospital praying my family was praying also head ear nose severly congested it horrible scary i have still not recoverd
And its so sad that today, there are vaccinations that reduce these horrible covid deaths by 99%, and people still refuse to take them.
@@dingdingding2190 Get the vaccine, it works and it's safe. Simple as that. My healthy uncle was just intubated because he also thought that the vaccine was a hoax/money grab. Well now he's fighting for his life in an ICU alone.
Yesterday we lost a 49 year old patient. He was perfect. This virus took his life in a week. Breaks my heart. He was so compliant with his treatment and never complained. Covid does NOT discriminate people. RIP Oscar😰.
I lost my father to this disease 2 weeks ago. I am currently 15 years old and my father was above 65 when he left me. I cried so much for the first few days after his death. And even at the day of death,when he was alive,looking at his position in life. I cried so much. This was a deep shock for me. This video should be played on every news channel instead of just numbers of deaths to really show people how affected families suffer :'(
Bilal Ejaz I’m so sorry. My condolences to you and your family ❤️
Im so sorry for you. may he rest in peace
I lost my great uncle to the virus
Be strong
Bilal Ejaz love you my sweet heart, stay strong.
Be a good man , never do anything wrong.
Study well.
Bless you ❤
I pray that you are doing better! There’s no stopwatch on grief. My dad passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2002 and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t grieve his loss. For my Dad was my hero and he’s with the Lord for a reason. I get through life knowing and believing that we will all be reunited again someday. I pray for you. And I hope your dad is resting in eternal peace
I can't imagine how painful that must be. I wonder why I'm even watching this
Because we are her and she is us.
Because it puts all those stats in perspective. Theres so much d3ath and suffering surrounding us right now. That you lose the personal touch of all of this. But seeing this story reminds you that this is happening to each and every single person that makes up those stats. That theres so many broken and grieving families dealing with this. Those are the real victims. All of this reminds you that its more than just you or me or a single person to worry about. Its all of us together. And it strengthens your resolve to keep you family safe. And to help other people kerp theres as well. Losing a loved one is one of the most painful things that can happen to a person. And i certainly wouldnt wish it on anyone else.
Painful hmm its Death all will test it!
The important thing that we all should be pray to the only one God and do all our best in our life and not work for here but for the hereafter !
the good thing about death is that you will leave the pain! The unjustice life, the sadness moments, the hardnes of your Job, etc.. and start over again! But without all of that!
I wondered myself before I tapped on the video. I needed to humanize the pain these poor people are feeling, and realize up here in BC, Canada that this virus really is....REAL.
Perhaps you’re learning to accept vulnerability and feeling our collective humanity.
That last part really made me tear up, "get up, my queen, the spring is here, the flowers are blooming". She said the comforting words she was going to last hear on this earth.
Oh my god, me too the tears burst out of me...
My grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and father all passed away from Covid in March 2021, my grandma passed on March 3rd, my grandfather March 4th, my uncle, March 9th, and my father March 14.
This pain is unbearable for my family especially when we never had a proper wake, service, and burial for our loved ones at all, only 4 of us were able to attend for all of them, and never would I thought this would happen to us.
Please stay safe, sanitize, keep your distance, and follow all protocols.
The next wave is coming soon and I have a feeling it will be worse than last winter/spring's wave where the virus took our loved ones.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm dealing with a lot of pain, difficulties, & grief as well, but not as much loss as you. You are incredibly strong. Keep going & I wish you much safety, love & blessings.
I'm so sad for you having to experience these losses. It is a lot for you to cope with so many deaths at once. I hope that you have started to heal now in 2023 although the grieving process is a long one. Hopefully you can now start remembering the good times you had with your loved ones. I don't know where you are in the world but the COVID pandemic is a terrible experience that we all understand. I'm sending you healing thoughts and love from Oxford, England.
I'm Sorry For Your Loss Man
My heart aches for what you've had to go through. I'm so very sorry for your multiple losses.
I feel so sorry for you. I lost my uncle and grandmother during covid, one shortly after the other. i know how it feels. hoping you are well.
Knowing what they're saying brings me to tears hearing her family cry over.
@OverLord 666 You're wrong, it's not the same. You're incapable of understanding or you wouldn't have said that.
@OverLord 666 you jus did Jack! 😏
Glad they got to say good bye, hold her hand and see her. We couldn't see our loved one. They removed her tube😔 and died alone😪 like so many others. But I believe they knew they were loved and just hope it's true that the medicine helps them just go to sleep. Peace
Yeah, when the first woman was crying “aquí estoy” it made me remember my aunt’s passing. So heartbreaking
I’m crying so much now. This woman was LOVED. Oh to have family like that and be loved that much ❤️❤️😭😭
Us Asians are most unlikely to come from such families, lol

This has me sobbing! She was clearly so loved by her entire family! It could happen to any of us or our loved ones. PLEASE be as safe as you can!!!
Even if a person isn't loved by anyone it's a terrible way to die having your lungs shrivel up like a petrified sponge.
My niece, fully vaccinated, died of covid a few days ago. Yes, she had other health problems too. I've lost 5 friends/family members fully vaccinated to covid. Us who had it before, have natural immunity, and are fine.
@@bidenisaracistnazi6661 did your other friends and family members that died also have and were fully vaccinated have health issues too?
Omg...me too. It is just tearing my heart out to see so much pain from those who keep losing loved ones. I will keep fighting with those who are covid deniers, just to get them to understand....if it saves ONE life, it will be worth it.
I looked up for videos like this because I lost my father, only 53 years old to covid. From the moment he went in the hospital, I no longer ever touched him, held him, hugged him. Everything I see this poor family going through on here, I went through. I watched my father die on zoom. Covid is disgusting, it’s absolutely terrible. My dad fought for a month before passing. It just breaks my heart. I miss him so much. Please everyone, stay as safe as possible.
I’m very sorry for your loss

I went through this same experience with my grandmother this past January. Nothing is more devastating than watching someone you love, the person who raised you, lose their battle to this virus over the course of a month. Sending hugs to all.

She’s in heaven with Jesus. She’s in a better place
I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family.
I just got out of the hospital last night with covid, my fiance is still in there. It will be a month before he's able to get out, this stuff is no joke! You don't know how real it is until it's somebody you love fighting for their life.
I'm so sorry that happened. Were you vaccinated. I've been hearing if breakthrough cases in the vaccinated.
It's going to be more than 14 months when I lost my elder sis who was only 33 yrs old. She was my constant source of love.

Thank the family for allowing us to see their beautiful love, grandma, strength. Tears...gracias...from California
I CAN'T stop crying my mom is 92 fighting for her life and she also have pneumonia and I just talked to the doctor today saying she getting worst.
My dsughter grAndma died at 92 this year in september but due to a stroke
This brings back the tough time I had when the doctors told me there was nothing else they could do for my mother, time heals but I never forget 🙏
Brings me back to that same day too. Grief is horrible 😕. No one will ever sympathize if they themselves experienced it.
Same. Sitting in the room with her but knowing that she really wasn't there anymore. I can't imagine how painful and sad it is for all the families to not be able to have that last physical contact. The last bit of togetherness and normalcy. I can't wrap my head around the enormity of the burden placed on the Drs, nurses & support staffs shoulders. Thank you for being so strong and caring on the family's behalf! 💙💜

@@breathkneestinks7805 sorry for your loss, god bless you guys
This is so painful. I lost my mother the same way in December. I remember the face time calls, standing behind the glass. Seeing her condition..hearing there’s nothing they can do. Hearing her lungs were full of fluid...the steroids had no effect...her kidneys failed..we sang, we prayed, we believed God would heal her, we couldn’t believe where was happening. We had all had COVID..including my grandmother. We all survived. So losing my mom was a tear in our close knit family. It is so hard.
Lost mine in November. I miss her so much. Hugs to you, I feel your loss ❤️
So sorry for your loss. May God comfort you until you meet her again. 🙏🏻
I’m sobbing. We experienced this this past weekend with my grandfather. Meanwhile my dad is at another hospital fighting covid as well but we can’t tell him that his dad has passed. We’re waiting for him to get better to tell him so that he can attend the funeral. And now my 6 year old sister has covid and I have to keep her separate from my mom with breast cancer undergoing chemo. This month has been the worst month of my life, it’s too much to handle.
I'm so sorry. Here's a virtual hug and good vibes going your way.
Take a deep breath, scream if you must!!! PRAY , PRAY , PRAY until you can't pray anymore. God bless you

I lost my dad to this virus while he was in South Africa just after I'd moved to the UK. I was pregnant with a sickly baby and could not go back to see him. He was dead inside of two weeks after catching it. I hugged him goodbye not knowing it would be the last time. He died alone. I miss him so much and I'm so proud of him for serving on the front lines to keep people safe.
My Mother is dying of Covid right now. They are bringing her home so we can say our Goodbyes. This is so unreal. I still can't believe this is happening right now. 😢
Sending you my prayers 🙏🏻
I'll pray for the family for everyone around the world pls all who's reading my comment please pray for the world for the people who had covid
*UPDATE* Since I was quarantined with Covid myself, I was not able to see my Mom, but my 4 Sisters went to say their Goodbyes (which hospital broke protocol, because they said they are 1 in a milllion to do so). The hospital eventually said we can't bring her home, because she will for sure die in transport because hospice is not equipped with the heavy duty breathing machine that they use in hospital. Well, once my Sisters saw her and left, they said, 'There is no way she is dying'. She wasn't on a ventilator, she has a breathing cup. Mom was talking and she has a strong grip on my sisters hand. Granted she was 6% oxygen level and Drs thought her breathing would drop more through the night, I guess.
It's a miracle, the next morning her lungs showed a little improvement and today, my Mom is sitting up and spitting out phlem to clear her lungs and is out of isolation. Now she is allowed 2 visitors per day. Yay!
Thank you all for the prayers and I truly believe that by seeing her Daughters lifted up her spirits, prayers and the Love she was shown. I survived Covid, so my quarantine orders are over today. So I will see her tomorrow at the hospital. I can't wait. God is good.
PS: My Mother is 87 years old. Truly a miracle, to survive Covid which gave her pneumonia.

They are there to take you quietly and painlessly to heaven. Paradise is real ....I know because I died before and I've been there. You are never alone and they are always watching over you.
Theres no such thing as death, just other dimensions. Eternal peace.

Can you share more about your near death experience in spiritual terms? What do you mean by you died before and experienced something divinely? I really want to increase my faith. Please share more.
As a hospice social worker I can attest to these shared experiences as well.
Wow that is so powerful!
Dee Dee Winfrey that a lovely thing to say to help the lost of a love one but that not true if u ready the Bible n understand n believe. When u die the breath of life goes back to God but ur soul will sleep until the second coming of Christ, If u die for Jesus Christ.
Why is life so difficult? My mom the most innocent person I have known passed away while I was on my phone watching her. Why? I hope she didn't suffer. May Allah grant her peace and tranquility

Seeing this brings back tears and sad memories when we siblings have to say our final words and goodbyes last July 17 to our mother through Zoom. The ICU staff were kind enough to set up the meeting. The pain and the heartache is indescribable seeing our mom dying with not one us her 4 children at her side. We watched until she flat lined. Sic.
I’m so sorry. I know that no words can help bring her back and there is nothing that can be said to bring you comfort. I just lost my mother 3 weeks ago and it has not been easy for any of us. I pray God gives you the strength to get through this. I keep telling myself that we were lucky to have our mother as long as we did. She was 72 but still too young in my eyes to be taken away. She was older but had the soul of a child and was so much fun to be around. I miss my mother so much that my brain doesn’t understand that it actually happened.
Neoemi Dobias i got this feelings just waycjong this over snd over knowing my mom had died of a similar situation In ICU on a machine .still trying to cope with my moms passing she left 8 of us.luckily we sll could have been at het side to say farewell ..even if she couldnt say anything ..which was.even harder for us..

I just pray that God can give me the strength to get through these rough times coming up.
I lost my grandfather and I just don’t want to remember the suffering. We all had it at the same time, seeing him leave on an ambulance and not coming back was heartbreaking. My condolences to all the families that lost loved ones. We will always have our love ones in our hearts.
Ohh its very sad Moment for u.. but we are humans and we need love we need guts I offer u my Friendship if u feel alone u can contact me__
So much could've been done to prevent so many lives lost. This is such a tragedy.
And what could have been done to prevent these deaths? Oh I have an idea of the insane reply to this comment will be. Is it a tragedy when anyone of the 2.8 million Americans that die per year? Do you honestly think about every person that dies? We live, we die, its the cycle of life, dramatizing it is naive and foolish.
Edmund Dobry caring about other people’s lives is what makes us human
Wow dude!😲Please share what more could've been done to save lives??!🤔🤨
@Connie Burnett so China telling us the number of people infected acme dead would have changed what? Would that have stopped the transmission of the virus? No it wouldn't. Hoarded PPE? There is 1.5 billion people in China, they need to worry about there own people first. If Obama and Biden didn't push manufacturing jobs out of America, we wouldn't have to worry about countries hoarding PPE. Funny how every other country in the world didn't have PPE problems. Hmmm yeah let's liberals govern again and then wonder why we can't take care of our own people.
@@bigphillyed China said to other countries / W.H.O. that there isn't any indication of person to person transmission at the same time the c.c.p. had internal communication that indicated that there was person to person transmission of virus while cornering the market on ppe (over 2 billion masks). China wasn't allowing Wuhan residents to fly to other parts of China but they let them fly to other countries. Virus probably was accidentally released from lab in Wuhan.
My uncle just passed away from covid July 2. I cried watching this.
Sorry to hear that
@Help Me Get Goated emo grandma
My condolences
I’ cried so much , this hit me a lot . I lost my uncle from coronavirus and it was very very and still is hard for my cousins , we grew up together and seeing them say goodbye to my uncle that day , my heart went into a million pieces
It is exactly same way as I lost my mom even her lungs got harder and unable to breathe due to covid.
We miss u mom.You are our pillar of strength and confidence mom
Life without u is really difficult to move. Love you amma 🙏😘😔😔
I too lost my elder sister due to covid 😭😭
I lost my mom 3 weeks ago due to the same reason. She was on so much medication that her kidneys started to fail. We weren’t allowed in to say our final goodbye to her until after she had already passed.
@@rosylopez4198 oh so sad to hear
@@priyankajamadar193 she fought long and hard and tried to hold on but in the end this horrible sickness took her from us. I feel like we were robbed from spending more time with her. I feel like I will never be the same. Things around her house will never ever be the same without her there. Her grandchildren have been really sad about it and miss her as well.
@@rosylopez4198 my sister also fought to overcome this she tried her best bt bad luck she had a attack... If she survived another 10 days means she will be discharged from hospital.. Bt God didn't listen our prayers
My gradnmother's neighbor just died yesterday from CoVid-19. Watching this is tragic, knowing that there are thousands of people who have to go through this. My condolences and prayers to their family and all others affected by Covid
Do you give condolences to the 2.8 million people that die every year in the US? No you don't because you are so naive and ignorant to the fact people live and people die. But because someone took video of the process, you want to further dramatize it. Grow up and get a pair.
@@bigphillyed sure, buddy. Hope you find inner peace and have a nice day.
@@justinhearst I found inner piece a long time ago, when I stopped worrying about the rest of the people in this country. Life got great for me when I stopped caring about people like you.
@@bigphillyed I don't think you've found inner peace when you're upset over a CZcams comment wishing a grieving family well. But whatever floats your boat.
+Edmund Dobry At least you’re open about being morally bankrupt. I’m sure it’s much easier to be happy when you don’t care about anyone but yourself. But what kind of American, let alone human being, does that make you?
Definitely *the* worst part of this is the inability to hold your loved one's hand as he or she dies. Also the inability to gather to mourn them.
OMG! That definitely has to be one of the hardest parts. I imagine that they're already feeling like they're being robbed of their loved one. Not being able to personally visit or gather just takes even more away from them. I'm sure there's a lot of unresolved emotional pain, grief, ptsd, and just plain old anger among the survivors. May God have mercy on them.
I wasn’t able to be there with my mom but thankfully we were able to gather and mourn her ♥️
@@sunshine2725 ..
.
My family Was bless we survive it. Pray for those who are in pain may god bless you.
my dad passed last year, not because of covid but suddenly and I also didn't get the change to see him or him or hold his hand. It's the worst feeling ever.
At one point I heard a waver in the narrators voice even she was struggling to hold it in. I’m so sorry for anyone who has lost something or someone in this pandemic.
I lost my grandmother to covid and I also went in person to say goodbye to her. It seems like it was yesterday. It was the most painful thing I had to do. My heart is still broken. Its been a year and a half and I miss her so much ☹😞
What upsets me the most about covid is that patients in their last moments of life, whether their dying of covid or any other problem, is that hospitals don’t allow visitation during these times. Which makes all these moments so much worse by not being able to say a final goodbye in person. My prayers go out to all families in the these tough times.
My mom is currently sick with covid, and won't go to the hospital for this very reason. She is in desperate need of medical care, but refuses to go because she doesn't want to die alone.😢
@@megandeeds9086
You must convince her to go. She has a better chance at surviving if she is at the medical center. And she won't be alone - her deceased ancestors will come for her if and when it's her time.
I truly hope she makes it. Please convince her to go.
@@megandeeds9086 Honestly, if she is in desperate need of medical care she has a better chance of getting better with professionals than self-medicating or lack thereof. I do hope your mother makes it through this!
The nursing home I worked at, allowed 2 family members to set with resident at their bedside at the end of life.
If more people saw this type of media related to the virus we wouldn't be rushing to open the country.
majority of humans are stupid and are illogical when it comes to thinking a head. People tend to only react when it hits their doorsteps and by that time, the virus will of devastated many lives.
We are never in control of our lives and future.
We are all slaves to society.
Or just have the elderly and the sick quarantine themselves and let everybody else with a 0.001% chance of dying of the disease get on with their lives
I absolutely agree. People are always getting used to things too quickly....
Propaganda
@@DOPEdwarf Where does this number come from??
This is beyond heartbreaking. So many families experiencing so much grief and loss during this time.😢

I lost my 27 year old brother cause of COVID and I’m telling you it hurts 😭😭😭😭
I’m so sorry for your loss luv, I loss my fiancé to COVID in April 2020, he was only 43…he was my best friend, he knew me better than I know myself and I will miss him every single day until we are reunited. If you ever need an ear or need to vent or just cry no one who has experienced this pain is a stranger to me I am here for you. Much love, you and your family will continuously be in my prayers. 🙏🏽 ♥️
@@NurseSnow2U thank you so much. So sorry for your loss also. Take good care of yourself
@The Lorca family. My condolences. My girlfriend who’s 29 is currently in ICU with Covid. With all due respect, did your brother also end up in ICU ? If so, how long was he there for until he transition? It’s been a month and 1 day since my girlfriend been in ICU. It’s scary
@@jondi3694 for just a week. He was declared brain dead. So they had to take him out off life support. He was also in coma. Nothing in his body was functioning. So do your Girlfriend is talking? Do her body is functioning. I guess yes because you said it’s been a month now.
So much love for this grandmother. Beautiful words from all the daughters , sons and grandchildren. Brought me to tears that innocent people are the ones getting infected and dying. Rip
Tears run down my face, I have prayed and sent my energies towards you all.
This breaks my heart. God bless this family
The fact that deaths like this are still dismissed as "old people's numbers being up anyway" will make my blood boil until the day I die myself. It will be a long time before I expect compassion from the American public again.
I lost my Daddy to Covid19 last March 25. I'm still processing everything. I couldn't even hug him. He died at home in the arms of my mom, as hospital facilities here in the Philippines are overburdenned. My mom, my siblings, and I have been infected and we have fully recovered. But I don't know when I will be able to fully recover from this tragedy.
Sorry to hear that buddy
I lost my closest brother to Covid last June 2020. He was alone in Dubai. The pain is unimaginable until now. I still cry every night.
I'm so sorry for your loss...Do you know it was promised by God in the bible that you will see your brother again, "the hour is coming in which all those on the memorial tombs will hear Jesus voice and come out." John 5:28,29. And God will "wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor pain be anymore." (Revelation 21:4)
Please hang in there, and I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
I lost my grandfather due to Covid, this video broke my heart. Growing up in a Spanish household your grandparents are the lifeline of your family. They are the most adored and loved. You can tell she was so full of life and deeply loved by everyone ! My love and prayers for this family!
This is such a loving family. My heart goes out to them all.
God…seeing this really brings back the pain…I lost my Father this year, January 16th to Covid…my sisters stood by his bedside while they took him off the ventilator. I watched through the phone they held. Just telling him how much I love him and how proud I am of him. I sang to him while my sisters held his hands for me. I miss him so much….and how much I wish he didn’t have to suffer like he did…
When she said "get up the spring is finally here" i cried 😭
This is heart breaking. Bless to her and her family.
The poetry at the end from the granddaughter is the most beautiful piece I’ve ever heard. It is so touching
I just lost my grandma to covid on Sunday..it was so hard seeing her through video and I'm still so shocked at how quickly this virus took her. My prayers to this family and all of those who have lost a loved one in this pandemic.
My grandpa passed away on December 14th due to covid. Everything was really fast, all in 1 week. I fell your pain. We couldn't even say goodbye. Is really hard. Lots of prayers for you and your family
@@Paula-oq1id im so sorry to hear this, and so close to the holidays 😞 prayers for your family as well. Stay strong ✊🏼
I lost my mom and I can tell you it feels helpless.
Lost my grandma in February and this video breaks my heart. I pray this virus ends soon and everyone can stop being selfish :(
I'm glad they had this moment...I couldn't say goodbye to my dad....and a year later I am still so messed up...no one should die alone...no one...
Look at the beautiful family Mrs Torro raised. Rest at peace loving mother, grandmother🌷💕
“You’re a warrior. You’re my mom’s mom.”
It’s beautiful to see a family with so much love and respect for each other.
I could literally hear my heart cracking. Rest in peace. Beautiful soul.
This made me cry-this video is so heartbreaking and intimate. Thank you nyt for this amazing reporting.
Update: I just finished the video and I am sobbing.
crying monitors
Knowing my family and I went through the same situation, I lost both my grandparents to covid 1 day apart from eachother 🥺…my prayers goes out to this beautiful family❤️🙏
Every second of this video reminds me of my grandma. In May this year(2021), she had covid and was admitted in the ICU. Her lungs were destroyed beyond repair, and for 2 weeks she battled in the hospital, before loosing her life days before my 17th b'day. We saw her through video call everyday, just like in the video, and everyday she would request us to take her back home. After her passing away, everything's so out of tune, and I still find it hard to believe at times that she's no more.
This has tore my heart into pieces, she was loved beyond love.
Since having Covid myself, and experiencing it's horrible effects for 24 hours, I have never felt so poorly. My heart goes out to this beautiful woman and her family. X
This is so sad. I can't finish watching.
I've been a nurse for 27 years. I've never felt so helpless as I have these past few months.
Hang in there Angelique. We need you and we appreciate everything you are all doing for us. May God bless you and keep you.
“get up my queen, the flowers are starting to bloom.” 😢 😭
This is heartbreaking. God bless the families of these poor people, and the medical responders who have to deal with this horror on a daily basis.
My mom is currently in the hospital battling Covid. This made me cry because it is so relatable. I am so far away and wish if I could just hug her and tell her how much I miss her. I haven’t seen her in two years. This is day 26 since she’s been hospitalized but thank God she has improved a lot. I believe in prayer and that I will get to embrace my mom again.
Incredibly sad to see a loved one go this way
jk1289
It's actors.
Actor..... actor.?.... such stupid
@@stefanogallina3643 I can't even imagine.
Sad to see a loved one go this way! As opposed to dying from a heart attack, cancer, stroke or car accident! People live and they die, its all part of the cycle of life. Dramatizing nature is simply naive.
Your comments on this video are disgusting. Why do you feel the need to shame others for having humanity, something that you have so clearly lost? The fact that you have become a cold, gross, pathetic little man who has not even a morsel of empathy for his fellow humans does not mean that others must be that way too. Keep your toxic nihilism to yourself and stop shaming others for being human.
What a beautiful family! May she rest in power! Wow this really pulled at my heartstrings...
This made me cry. I still don't understand, almost 2 years and millions of lives lost, how some people can say it's fake or not that bad.
My husband and I just got over COVID. We were so so sick and in the hospital. It was the worse illness we ever had.
I have lost my beloved Auntie one day ago which is Friday in Somalia, Kismayo.
Covid-19 Really touches a lot of people.
Oh my God, this was very painful to watch!
KurtBP75 why would you even watch it.
If it was a white male you wouldn't cared
People die everyday, virus or not. Yet the liberal cheesecakes are out dramatizing deaths from covid19! SMH.
Edmund Dobry smh. U have no humanity.
@@bigphillyed blame everything on the liberals, that's the only thing you people know how to do.
Seeing this brings back all the memories of losing someone to this as well.
I love you so much, Simón. I would do anything to get you back...
This one really hit me hard despite not having lost anybody. The family reminded me of my family.
This breaks my heart. Rest In Peace queen!
This videos makes me loves and value my times with my family even more.
I think this video really helps to make people protect themselves and his/her beloved even more
This broke me so much. Im in awe of the magnet that she was and the impact it had on the whole family. God bless them and grant each of them fortitude and closure in this time. Much support✨🕊️🙏🇳🇬❤️
I lost my grandma back in June, as well as one of my closest uncles who died in December, who was like a 2nd father to me, both due to Covid. Losing a loved one is one of the most worst and an unfathomable experience a person can go through. I send my condolences to the family, hope they’re doing much better now.
I'm seriously soaking my shirt in tears right now. This poor family 💔
Oh.. it breaks my heart into a million pieces 😭
Those who have lost their loved ones can understand their pain. I lost my husband too last year. And it's painful, hurting and devastating. Here it's better they're getting info and allowed to see her through the video.
My condolences to this family. My heart aches for them. I am a Covid survivor hospitalized with double pneumonia fir five days. I know how I felt in that room. I send the peace of God to bring comfort and healing to all of your hearts and minds. 🙏🏾
