This is a news clip from ABS News showing the archbishop of Peru blessing and making the sign of the cross over 1000s of photos representing people who have died from COVID-19 in Peru. It's sometimes so easy to feel like COVID isn't happening and that social distancing is blown out of proportion, or to question if we're overreacting. And then on seeing this video, all I feel is pain. So much pain for the lives lost, both young and old in what seems like a never-ending public health crisis.
