Over 500,000 Americans have died from Covid.
My friends, Ro and Doctor Bertoni, were two of them.
As was Dakota Pittman and many others.
Last year this time I was atop Kilimanjaro. The 2021 team of Kili Initiative descended from the summit. I got an internet connection on the Saddle. Reports from the Guardian and BBCNews informed us of a deadly situation in Italy. Thousands were dying across that country and my Kenyan friends asked, “What do you think will happen?”
“I have no idea.”
I certainly hadn’t thought Covid would become the second leading cause of death in the USA. 500,000 dead, which is more than the population of Kansas City, Cleveland, or New Orleans and the next year promises more of the same for a nation half-dedicated to the Trump story line on Covid fraud. Rest in Peace all of you.
