In less than 24 hours, Lloyd Torres lost his mother and brother to the coronavirus.
"They were pretty good at getting in touch," Torres said."They were providing updates and calls."
Lolita and Louis were diagnosed with pneumonia and tested positive for COVID-19. Louis was soon moved to intensive care. Torres said he could also sense the pain in the doctor's voice."I could tell that he and his team tried their best and did all they can do," Torres said.Torres, whose father, Florentino, died a few years ago, said his wife has been his rock through these unimaginable losses.
"They were both very selfless people" who lived to make others happy, Torres said. Lolita was a ward clerk at a Queens hospital, and many of her colleagues have shared personal stories about her with Torres since her death.
