In a dialogue with the president earlier this year, relatives of coronavirus victims voiced their loneliness. Michaela Mengel broke down in tears as she recalled her daughter s last minutes as she died from the coronavirus in hospital. Last time I saw her alive was on Christmas Eve when I had to leave the hospital. She had oxygen piped into her nose, she looked at me with her big eyes, Mengel told the president.  Since she could not talk I told her, bye my dear, I love you, mama will be back.
