Fighting COVID-19 by Lauren Leach-Steffens Like a war fought in some Baltic country; reading in the news that a couple thousand have died since yesterday, too many to have names You think, it is not my war; I cannot identify the fallen and all the effort, the vigilance, the sheltering seems so pointless as the war is fought in Chicago and New York -- until today -- the fallen in your town commemorated in printed pages.
