This week, I went inside an ICU in St. Louis, Missouri.
When I asked one of the ICU nurses how many patients she’s lost since the pandemic began, she couldn’t even ballpark a number.
She said some days it’s 3 or 4 a shift.
Her hospital ran out of space in their morgue, late last week.
One of the critical care doctors told me, they had patients “in the room, long after they had died, waiting for refrigerated trucks to come so we could store them somewhere.”

Protesters are now lying face down, in front of the Capitol. It’s almost entirely silent. Organizers have asked them to stay down and stay quiet for the same about of time police knelt on George Floyd’s neck.
It’s been 7+ minutes. The only sounds I’ve heard are birds chirping, the muffled noise of one protester crying, a police radio crackling (which they quickly turned down), and the hum of an idling ambulance. Hard to describe this moment - and the crowd is too large to count.
