In the year since the COVID-19 pandemic swept the country, close to 30 million Americans have contracted Coronavirus, many of whom have struggled, and more than 530,000 have died as a result. And those are just the numbers. CNN correspondent Miguel Marquez reports on the impact of those who have been affected by the pandemic.
Among the millions of stories across the U.S., Marquez highlights a son who left behind his wife and life in New Jersey to care for his ailing, now widowed mother. He also talks to a long-married, once healthy couple who had to adjust to life where one of them might be permanently disabled due to COVID. And a sister haunted by the possibility that she may have been the one who transmitted the virus that killed her younger brother. Dalton, Georgia, is like many other American towns affected by COVID-19, as nearly one in seven have been infected by the virus. These accounts are from one area of America, but they repeat in town-after-town, state-after-state, and coast to coast.
