Sue Kayton's father died on May 6, 2020 of COVID-19 in a nursing home in the Los Angeles area with dozens of COVID cases. Kayton's essay "Illness and Death in the times of COVID-19" is a first-person account about the difficulties of testing, getting test results, the personal anguish about not being allowed to visit her father or comfort her mother, and the difficulty in trying to find a place for her father to be discharged to, when they thought he would recover and be allowed to leave the nursing home.
