Naggayi Angella was only 42 when she died, a single mum who has left behind two heartbroken children.
Known to her friends as Grace or Amazing Grace, she had spent the past two weeks in a coma in hospital before succumbing to Covid on Monday.
Her death was one of a number on that day that marked a grim statistical milestone, taking the UK past 100,000 fatalities as the second wave of the virus pandemic goes on.
Peter Attwood, who at 84 was twice Ms Naggayi s age, had first become ill in December 2019 and passed away on January 30. Nobody suspected that he had Covid – back then, the virus was only starting to come to the world s attention in its breeding ground in China – but a subsequent post-mortem showed traces of it in his lung tissue.

Protium has partnered with Blue Bear Systems and ZeroAvia to deliver a major new project.
Grant will enable the consortium to complete the feasibility and design works for future deployment of passenger planes powered entirely from green hydrogen.
The hydrogen will be produced entirely from renewable resources and will provide a pathway to zero emission airport operations.

Aircraft without pilots could be flying commuters to UK regional airports within a decade - possibly using hydrogen as fuel making them environmentally friendly.
British aircraft manufacturer Britten-Norman is working alongside technology company Bear Blue to first develop a semi-autonomous plane with just one pilot, followed by an aircraft with no humans on the flight deck.
The government has pledged £1.8 million to the project, which could see the first aircraft carrying passengers by the mid 2020s.

Scottish Government adviser Devi Sridhar has said that an independent Scotland could have handled the pandemic better that the UK Government has done DEVI Sridhar, professor of global public health at Edinburgh University and a member of the Scottish Government s Covid-19 Advisory Group, has said that an independent Scotland could have handled the coronavirus better. But it seems important to emphasise that no leader in the UK, whether at Westminster or a devolved parliament, has done a remarkable job – indeed it disrespects the families of the thousands who’ve died through this terrible pandemic. Comparing case numbers between devolved nations is an unhelpful and distracting exercise – these numbers are a product of many complex factors, including population density and mobility. Perhaps Scottish Government Covid-19 messaging has been clearer, but in general practice we are desperate to vaccinate our patients and can’t get supplies – we’d prefer action and strate
