As the U.S. nears the milestone of 1 million COVID-related deaths, North Texas doctors and health officials are reeling with shock and disbelief as they never...

In 2020, researchers came up with an indicator to measure the impact of that grief, called the COVID-19 bereavement multiplier. For every COVID-19 death in the U.S., nine surviving Americans will lose a grandparent, parent, sibling, spouse or child, according to the analysis.

“It is important to recognize that our neighbors, members of our community may have been touched by one of these deaths,” said Janice Walker, chief nursing executive at Baylor Scott & White Health. “People are still going through the natural stages of grieving. Entire communities are grieving, and we know with grief comes enormous stress.”

For health care workers, that grief often appears on the job. Nurses and doctors have stepped in as family members for patients dying of the virus, holding their hands in their last moments of life. “In every patient that we see, we see a loved one that has died. When we see an elderly man pass away, we see our own dad, our grandfather. When we see a young lady mourning mer mom at her bedside, we think of our own parents,” Chang said. “That sense of loss, I think, will really never go away.”

North Korea Raises Alarm After Confirming 1st COVID-19 CaseNorth Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for his country to raise its COVID-19 preventive measures to maximum levels as the country announced its first coronavirus infection more than two years into the pandemic. The Korean Central News Agency said Thursday tests from an unspecified number of people in capital Pyongyang confirmed they were infected with the omicron variant. North Korea had claimed a perfect record in keeping out COVID-19 from its territory, though outside experts had doubted that. It had only begun to reopen its border slightly after being closed for two years. Multiply it by like 100k, and you'll have a closer to accurate count.
