Though it feels like preaching to the choir whenever I publish a post suggesting that C-19 does not fool around, upon learning something new, the teacher in me feels need to share cautionary measures with you—
THE GUARDIAN
“Nick Cordero: Broadway star dies aged 41 of coronavirus complications”
“The Tony award-nominated Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who starred in hit musicals including Waitress, A Bronx Tale and Bullets Over Broadway, has died in Los Angeles from severe medical complications after contracting coronavirus. He was 41.”
“Cordero died on Sunday at Cedars-Sinai hospital after spending more than 90 days in the hospital, according to his wife, Amanda Kloots.”
“Cordero entered the emergency room on 30 March and had a succession of health setbacks including mini-strokes, blood clots, sepsis infections, a tracheostomy and a temporary pacemaker implant. He had been on a ventilator and unconscious and had his right leg amputated. A double lung transplant was being explored.”
Sadly—Cordero endured and died alone.
Please place stubbornness aside.
If you wear a mask so that others may live a healthy life
And if others wear a mask so that you may live a healthy life then
Together, we may participate in shortening the time it takes to
Resuscitate the concept of Brother/Sisterhood, and
As our just reward for kindnesses flowing naturally, back and forth
You and I may find ourselves lengthening each other’s lives
And what, I ask, could feel better during trying times than
Partaking in a simple plan that demands no more than
Placing stubbornness aside and masking up
