These are the last texts of a hospital worker to her daughter. Madhvi Aya, who had been a doctor in India, worked in an emergency room in Brooklyn that was battered by the coronavirus. But within days of her last shift as a caregiver, she became infected. Aya, 61, was moved to a hospital less than 2 miles from her husband and 18-year-old daughter on Long Island, but they were not allowed to visit her. In a text with her family, she described horrible chest pain from trying to get out of bed. As she grew sicker, her texts came less frequently and in short, sporadic bursts. Her last message to her daughter was, “Mom be back.” She could not keep that promise. Front-line health care workers face a high risk of contracting the coronavirus, and scores have become sick. Aya’s text messages and her family’s account of her final days reveal a woman who spent much of her life devoted to medicine before succumbing to the cruel and familiar arc of a patient with Covid-19. Her early mild symptoms and quarantine at home were followed by a rapidly escalating illness and long waits for care, until she died alone. Read more at the link in our bio.

Pesan singkat Aya dan catatan keluarganya tentang hari-hari terakhirnya mengungkapkan bagaimana seorang wanita yang menghabiskan sebagian besar hidupnya untuk merawat pasien sakit dan tak menyerah berjuang di garis paling depan dalam perang melawan virus corona .
"Ia selalu ada untuk kami, kapan pun kami mau Tetapi ketika dia sakit, tidak ada satu pun yang ada di sampingnya,” kata suaminya.
