    Nursing homes have absorbed many of the pandemic's cruelest blows of death and isolation. A year after the first deaths were reported at a Seattle-area nursing home, I wrote about the victims, the workers and residents, and those left to worry outside.

    Feb. 28, 2020 - a year ago today - was the last day Americans could believe the virus might not be as devastating here as it was abroad. Fewer than 100 cases, no deaths. We knew nothing.

    My dad waited 6 whole minutes in our phone conversation to casually mention that he's getting his first COVID vaccine dose tomorrow (!!!) and now I'm taking him to family court for this emotional roller coaster

    I go through submissions from readers whose loved ones died of COVID-19 and have to wade through these messages each time. These types of messages increased substantially after politicians/organizations said the death toll was wrong or exaggerated. 500,000 people are dead.

    I was interviewed by for their coverage of the U.S. reaching 500,000 COVID-19 deaths. I'm grateful to their journalists for allowing me to speak about those we've lost, and how reporters are working to make sure they're not forgotten.

    Almost exactly a year after the first COVID-19 deaths were reported in Washington state, the U.S. is approaching a terrible milestone: 500,000 have died from the virus. It would take nearly six days - without stopping - to read each COVID-19 victim’s name out loud.
