A Prince George's County council member in Maryland is grappling with loss and grief after Covid-19 killed six members of her extended family and infected 16 others.
“We are a humble, immigrant family that came here to work hard and do better for ourselves,” she said. “We’ve been in this country for a long time, and we are blessed for that, but at the same time it’s sad that we couldn’t have had some of our family members even longer.” Soon after, four of her uncles, Marcial Garcia, 83, Dario Jerez, 81, Alberto Toledo, 65, and Miguel Suazo, 65, died from Covid-19. The deceased family members lived in New York, Florida and Ecuador, and 16 others became infected but survived, she said.
