I just read an article in the USA Today about Go Nakamura, a photographer in Houston doing some incredible work on the COVID frontlines. The article has an amazing, powerful, and heartbreaking photo. I'm going to include the link, but before you click on it, might be a good idea to check your COVID news/imagery capacity. The link isn't going anywhere - you can always view it later. It's not graphic or fatal, but it is a compelling, sad, but also touching photo of a very human moment in this awful pandemic. Here's the link.
