It is insane that people are attempting to downplay this.

We lost our newly elected (Republican) Speaker of the NH House this week.

New Hampshire's GOP governor blasts anti-maskers after House speaker dies of covid-19: 'Don't act like a bunch of children'.

a National Day of Observance for the victims of COVID-19. Including living, deceased, unemployed, driven out of business etc.
