There's still too much grief, uncertainty.ALBANY, Ga. For Elaine Williams, coronavirus couldnt be more personal.
She watched her son take his last breath April 3 over a cellphone screen, two days after he tested positive at a hospital two hours away from home. Five days later, she buried 38-year-old Kenya Williams at a memorial service with only six chairs allowed one for herself and five for immediate family.
Every day her phone rings with news of another friend, another neighbor, another community pillar dying from COVID-19, the disease delivered by the virus. And late last month, Williams learned she too tested positive, though she had no major symptoms.
It is all so disturbing to me," said Williams, 61. Every time I look on TV and see those numbers, I'm like, 'My baby is in that number.'"

Many families had multiple deaths. My heart goes out to them at this terrible time.

Their experience with COVID has been brutal to watch, and I applaud how the community is handling this.
