  40,000 children have lost a parent to Covid-19

  (NEXSTAR) – In a grim reminder of the death toll from COVID-19, a new study published by the American Medical Association found that nearly 40,000 U.S. children have lost one of their parents to the virus. It’s a heartbreaking new angle to the number of U.S. deaths since the pandemic began – 555,273 as of Monday afternoon, according to Johns Hopkins University. “This may come as a surprise, since 81% of lives lost in the US have been adults 65+,” study author Rachel Margolis, an associate professor at the University of Western Ontario, tweeted. “However, we are also seeing high mortality among younger adults, many of whom have children under 18.”

  Graduation

  The global pandemic has been hard on so many people and has forced everyone in the world to adjust their lives to what is going around in the air. It has been especially hard to assimilate to the new way of college. Luckily I just finished my sophomore year at DePaul, but for many of my close friends their times at DePaul have come to an end. It has been a sudden and abrupt end to their college years. They went from working and hanging with friends to stuck at home and not being able to live up the last year of college with friends they have spent college with. This has been tough for everyone to see close friends have to leave a place they have been accustomed to for 4 years and to leave the ones who have built some of the deepest and closest friendships people can experience. COVID 19 has robbed the seniors of the pinnacle of their college life.
