A year ago Monday, the first New Yorker was confirmed infected with COVID-19.
In the following 365 days, the economy, education, recreation, careers the very threads of our everyday lives have been diminished or at least altered.
The numbers can be staggering more than 1.6 million people infected in this state alone, almost 10 percent of them seriously enough to be hospitalized.
The saddest number: More than 38,000 New Yorkers have lost their lives to the virus. Multiply that by a dozen or 20 or 50, and you begin to see the number of people who grieve for their loss.
OGDENSBURG â One month ago, 19-year-old Connor J. Sibley was knocking âon deathâs door,â as his mother put it.
The Ogdensburg teen was severely injured in a ski accident in Maine last month, and his head took most of the impact. He was in a coma for about a week before he started progressing faster than expected, according to his mother. His swift recovery led to an earlier than expected return home.
The community has rallied around Connor for the last month as he recovered, and they continued to do so Thursday afternoon as about 25 people lined the street leading to his house on Rensselaer Avenue.

DEWITT, NY - Twice Msgr. J. Robert Yeazel’s family was told he was on the cusp of death, unlikely to survive his fight with Covid-19.
Yeazel felt it in his bones. He was just so wiped out. He confesses he really didn’t think he would make it.
At one point, he asked nurses for paper and pen. He gathered his strength and wrote a short letter to his brother and nephews telling them how much he loved them, and not to worry as they’d done everything they could for him.
