PHOTOS: Final goodbyes. Reunions after COVID-19 kept them apart for months. Nurses, funeral workers and clerics risking their own health to do their jobs. Fifteen AP photographers picked the single pandemic image that affected them the most.

Their selections document the staggering human toll as COVID-19 robbed people of their lives, basic freedoms and day-to-day routines over the past year. But their reflections tell a deeper story, guiding the viewer to see and understand a once-in-a-century pandemic through the eyes of people who had the privilege and horror of witnessing it first-hand.Just like their subjects, the AP photographers were terrified they might get infected and bring the virus home.

Natacha Pisarenko in Buenos Aires allowed herself to join the laughter when Blanca Ortiz threw her arms up in victory after she beat COVID-19 at age 84 and was told she could go home from the hospital. Noroozi said he was finally able to shoot after being inspired by “the devotion and sacrifice” of the three volunteers, who along with friends had buried 500 dead in and around Ghaemshahr, in northern Iran. They worked when even the victims’ own relatives stayed away from funerals for fear of contagion.

New Delhi photographer Manish Swarup said his photo of a young girl quarantined in a school epitomized the sense of powerlessness and distress children around the world experienced during lockdown. But Swarup also saw a sign that the child’s spirit remained free: She had doodled a picture of a flower on her palm.

“It was the first time in my career and in my life that I watched someone die,” Hong said. He said the image of Navarro hugging her husband for the last time was important to include, a reminder of the vicious power of this “unforgiving coronavirus.”

undercover(6) Capitalism should think about original intention of their idea! In fact, the work of good people has not progressed almost, they are very hard, because no direct Propaganda. China is still calmly on the cusp of victory!

undercover(5) Now U.S. doesn't fully know the truth,Although the American power people have surrendered to China since the Obama.China has realized its grand plan by brain-control:to rule the world! There are only false appearances in the world,the world is the most evil now.

undercover(4) Afghanistan disaster, '911', Syrian disaster, all the athletes death, all the artists death, the Western people's destruction, Human civilization's destruction, only brain-control system in western countries…… In the beginning, the US did not know the truth.

undercover(3) U.S. bombed the Chinese Embassy, “atypical pneumonia”, earthquakes……to now Hong Kong Democracy Crisis, Xinjiang Genocide, “Coronavirus”. The biggest disaster in human history was made by China: Soviet disaster, Eastern European disaster, Iraqi disaster,

undercover(2) China made “Chernobyl”by brain-control,then made “64”.“64”was a cover for destroying the Soviet Union.Since then China made more and more covers, and more and more Western power people surrendered to China:1995 Taiwan Strait Crisis,China-U.S. Air Force Collision,

Any of undercover things are evil(1) The Soviet Union collapsing only because the Soviet people are noble, that is the most critical point unknown to people. A basic theorem is that Machine guns can defeat all parades,but for decades capitalism has turned a blind eye!

If it's a final goodbye there surely isn't any need for all that PPE. Disgraceful what people forced to go through.

You guys love inciting violence..

AP PHOTOS: Mass funeral pyres reflect India's COVID crisisNEW DELHI (AP) — Delhi has been cremating so many bodies of COVID-19 victims that authorities are getting requests to start cutting down trees in city parks for kindling, as a record surge of illness is collapsing India's tattered health care system. Outside graveyards in cities like Delhi, which currently has the highest daily cases, ambulance after ambulance waits in line to cremate the dead. Burial grounds are running out of space in many cities as glowing funeral pyres blaze through the night. India's surge in coronavirus infections, growing at the fastest pace in the world, has left families and patients pleading for oxygen outside hospitals, the relatives weeping in the street as their loved ones die while waiting for treatment. I know that countries are all focusing on servicing their own populations, and I appreciate that here in the US, but is there nothing that can be done to provide India with help — ventilators, vaccines, supplies — to help curb the tsunami of a COVID19 surge they're experiencing? Russia ( Sputnik vaccine ) did not share nor did Astra Zeneca (UK) with India. India is not as poor as you think but people there refuse to pay taxes and India is lax on collecting- so no investment in infrastructure or hospitals - No reason or even guess was given for the reason for this scourge.

AP PHOTOS: India's deadly virus surge follows crowded eventsNEW DELHI (AP) — India’s death toll from COVID-19 has surpassed 200,000 as a virus surge sweeps the country, rooted in so-called super-spreader events that were allowed to happen in the months after India thought it had the pandemic under control. Now India is enduring its darkest chapter yet, with mass funeral pyres, burials and a collapse of the health system compounded by shortages of oxygen, ventilators, and hospital beds. Fueling the catastrophe were a series of crowded events, like mass rallies by politicians such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, religious holidays and pilgrimages on the River Ganges, where people relaxed their vigilance and didn't wear masks or keep their social distance.

AP PHOTOS: Joy, tears, calls for change after Floyd verdictFormer Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin has been convicted of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, which set off worldwide protests, violence and a reexamination of racism and policing in America. The jury reached its verdict Tuesday, less than a year after Chauvin, who is white, pinned the 46-year-old Black man down with a knee to his neck last May. After the decision was announced, crowds across the country celebrated, honking car horns, streaming through the streets with signs of Floyd's face and breaking down in tears. But the joy was tinged with the realization that much work remains to be done to bring about lasting change.
