Jayalakshmi Auntie's younger sister passed away today. It seems she was admitted with heart ailments eight days ago and Auntie was advised against visiting her because of the virus. She died of multiple organ failure today and Auntie is struggling to get to Banashankari, to see her for one last time.
I've begun to hate it when I read Coronavirus reports like "One person died today, 56-year old with underlying complications". May be they are trying to cheer up younger people with no obvious 'underlying complications' but that 56-year old had survived those complications and with whatever medication would've possibly gone on to live a decade or two more. To think that someone came such a long way and then succumbed to this virus doesn't give me any solace.
