On Wednesday, the city reported an additional three residents have died of the virus bringing the death toll to 1,001. Just days ago, the U.S. surpassed 500,000 coronavirus deaths. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser issued a proclamation Wednesday morning, declaring Feb. 24 a day of remembrance for those Washingtonians who died from the virus. These beautiful souls who passed were grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, neighbors, classmates, colleagues, friends, and loved ones, Bowser wrote in a statement. This tragic milestone is a reminder that this pandemic has forever changed families and communities. Even when the pandemic ends, for many, the pain and loss will still be there.
