CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN: “200,000 deaths recorded as of today because of the coronavirus. 200,000 deaths all across this nation. And it means there are empty chairs and dining room tables and kitchen tables that weeks and months ago were filled with a loved one, a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister. And in many cases, the pain was made a lot worse because… so many of the rituals we have come to help us cope with pain and loss, to help us honor the lives of those we’ve loved, to help us come to closure, just aren’t available in the middle of this pandemic.”
