The coronavirus pandemic's deaths are taking an enormous toll on surviving family members, and worrisome ripple effects may linger for years, new research has suggested

Every day, the nation is reminded of Covid-19's ongoing impact as new death counts are published. What is not well documented is the toll on family members.

New research suggests the damage is enormous. For every person who dies of Covid-19, nine close family members are affected, researchers estimate based on complex demographic calculations and data about the coronavirus.Many survivors will be shaken by the circumstances under which loved ones pass away — rapid declines, sudden deaths and an inability to be there at the end — and worrisome ripple effects may linger for years, researchers warn.

Many experts believe the need for these kinds of services will expand exponentially as more family members emerge from pandemic-inspired shock and denial."I firmly believe we're still at the tip of the iceberg, in terms of the help people need, and we won't understand the full scope of that for another six to nine months," said Diane Snyder-Cowan, leader of the bereavement professionals steering committee of the National Council of Hospice and Palliative Professionals.

trump keeps touting a reduction in COVID cases. But didn’t he take reporting away from the cdc for the purpose of manipulating the numbers just like everything else he’s trying to manipulate like USPS etc

Losing loved ones, from any cause, is difficult and has lasting effects.....morons

Someone actually had to do research to come to the conclusion that death takes a toll on surviving family members?

And then imagine, only being allowed to choose 10 of your loved ones to attend & say their final goodbye. Which 10 do you pick? Heartless politicians! I have 120 FIRST cousins, and that’s just on my mom’s side. We’re all equally important, & we’re all always there for each other!

I am amazed.. they never stopped to think some of their murder victims have men in their family that are angered by their death..

THE ANIMALS BIRDS AND INSECTS WHO ARE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH ANIMATION ON ANY SUBJECT ARE ALSO BEING MURDERED.. THEY ARE INFLUENCING PEOPLE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HAVE THE MINDSET IT IS NECASSARY TO MURDER THEM...

MY DAUGHTERS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLIANT WOMEN WHO REALLY RUN THIS NATION... WITHOUY THEM OUR NATION, WORLD AND CIVILIZATION COULD NOT LONG CONTINUE...

BULLSHIT

What about the deaths from child sex trafficking? Or do children’s lives not matter?

Guess CNN should talk to CNN about their message.

I SEE THAT WHEN THERE IS TROUBLE HERE IN FORT WORTH NEXT TO DALLAS IT IMMEDIATELY SPINS OUT OF CONTROL AND STARTS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. (MURDERS).

Maybe your reporters should stop pussy footing around! When Trump insults a reporter, why don't you fire back? When he lies his ass off, why don't you call him out on it! When he goes on a lying spree, why don't you cut the cameras!? STOP BABYING TRUMP!

New research has suggested. And you cal it news.

CNN, spinning their news through an industrial grade washing machine, as is tradition.

The masks are there to keep the virus out and the feelings in.

InterruptTrump InterruptTrump InterruptTrump FACT CHECK HIM IMMEDIATELY.

So they needed to do research to tell us that bereavement is difficult, do I have that right?

Still no vaccine? Really? WeakMedicalScience

I just hope that this doesn't increase the number of mental health cases all over the world. The government should be ready to help and provide counselling and therapy to those that are willing to accept it.

Armageddon. We don't have years

Oh, so other forms of death by family members won't do the same? 🙄

😥🙏😭

Vaccine lobbyists already entered their minds

Это какой-то сюр!))))) А смерть от пули не наносит вред семье ? И переживания не наступают?)

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Well worst case my family is paid up on our life insurance premiums.....

You mean, people dying affects the people they left behind? Good journalisming!

I've yet to know of anyone personally sick from it much less died from it...

It sounds more like speculation than research.

How is this news? Families are sad their loved ones died. Duh

And think realDonaldTrump does not give a sh*t.

Yes not being able to grieve for your loved one locked away in assisted living facilities with COVID patients is about the cruelest thing that was done by 4 Democrat Givernors

Americans have lost all faith in the CDC

The Trump Virus is a danger to everyone! Time to call this virus what it is, The Trump Virus. Since Trump refuses to take responsibility for anything he’s done or refused to do, we must hold him accountable. After six months in the U.S., I think Trump owns this now!

🥱🤪😷

Did you read this announcement,or listen to it?How much less of ALLof this,would not happen if our 'leader' would've told the truth for the last 7 months! Now he is still doing it, lying, contradicting the experts,use a chemical medicine,experts say it has no effect on the virus

The small % dying is just a statistic to many people until it happens to their close family member.

Just like any death in the family from heart attack, pneumonia, suicide, car accident, etc.

Trump: Authorizes $430 million to fight sex trafficking. Fake Media: *crickets*

People die every day it always leaves a lasting effect on the family members. Tell us something we don't know

EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO LOVED SOMEONE THAT DIED FROM COVID-19 should vote out the Republicans who allowed this to happen! 💙💙💙💙🇺🇸

Wait until people find out who helped shield China from any criticism & investigation of the virus 'escaping' - then people will be even more pissed off! Add to that, the complicity of the media playing along with distraction. mockingbirdmedia EnemyOfThePeople

helplessness, horror, anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, and regret, all of which magnify their grief.... 100% right... No doubt in it... I seen it.. People even need pyschological help... now

Americans are already feeling more depressed & anxious during COVID-19, especially due to economic strain, according to uscensusbureau (June 2020). Learn more about American’s mental health & the demographics of anxiety & depression during the pandemic:

are you even gonna mention this? Or just act like it’s nothing.

Remember to keep in mind we're changing our ways not only to protect ourselves but, just as important, we're trying to protect those who may be more susceptible to COVID-19. 'THIS IS OUR REALITY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.' Don't be thoughtless, 6FT & MASK-- be safe than sorry!
