Feliks and Luiza Ogorodnik are the first Illinois couple in Illinois to both die from COVID-19.

Feliks Ogorodnik, 88, and his wife, Luiza, 84, died Saturday at Glenbrook Hospital in suburban Glenview, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

This could have been prevented but rallies and golf made it hard for him to do his job.


I use to grow tomatoes like that when I was growing up. It looks like a beefsteak. Now they'll never be able to grow anything else.


Take Care sabra!

How many thousands could have been saved with a different course of action.

I leave you to make that judgement.

Goodbye Feliks and Luiza. Murdered to prop up the Dow Jones average.
