Moon Day

Monday, the first day of the work week, is forever linked to the moon and its haunting light. And tonight my mind is haunted too, by this number:

1,332,328

This is the number of people who have died since the Covid epidemic began (Source: Worldometers.info) Imagine Dallas, Texas. Now imagine all of its inhabitants dead from Covid-19. That’s where we’re at with the death toll from Covid-19.

Each of the dead leaves behind a trail of grief. Each of those lost lives are a mirror to those who loved them, saying, “You were my life. You were my happiness. You were my sunshine. And now you are gone.”

All 1,332,328 of them.
