At The New YorkerJames Ross Gardner reflects on the past week of life and the first deaths in Seattle — the first city to feel the effects of COVID-19 in America. The city suffered the first death in the United States on Saturday, February 29th when a man in his 50s succumbed to the virus. As of now, COVID-19 has since taken the lives of 26 people in Seattle.

The Swarm's insight:

Lord,

 

I pray for everyone who suffers from COVID-19.

Please comfort them in their time of need.

 

I pray for the poor souls who have succumbed to the coronavirus.

 

May they rest in peace. 

 

Amen.
