Obits show coronavirus dangers are not overblown

Those who still insist that the coronavirus is a hoax, joke, overblown or not much worse than the flu should be required to read every single word of the five pages of obituaries in the Dec. 27 newspaper.

These are real people who are dying every day from this virus. They have served their country with honor, they have raised families, and their lives are being cut short.

Shame on those who still refuse to wear a mask or keep social distance. Where is your compassion for your fellow Americans?
