8. Maybe they want his death to have meaning. Maybe that helps them

deal with how needless it was. Thete are so many ways to grieve. Maybe they will save lives. Maybe they will put iut a new obit at the time of his funeral when COVID is gone and such things can happen again.

So sorry for your loss. Glad you were able to take the long view in your tribute to him.
