Funeral homes in valley are trying to provide closure to the family even in the such situations of crisis
Arizona had reported 249 deaths till now, and the number is still increasing due to COVID-19. Most of the deaths occurred under isolation and away from the family. But Valley funeral homes are trying to take care of the dead and provide closing for the family members in this time of crisis.
At mortuaries, there is no more crowd, long hugs, moving services, or wiping off tears of one another due to social distancing. Megan Millage, Manager of Shadow Mountains Mortuary in North Phoenix, said, "That's how you get your closure, is at the funeral. And we're not able to have them right now." Like the other businesses, the operations funeral homes also had changed entirely due to COVID-19.
"Some people will even go with cremation instead of a burial," said Genelle Gamboa, who manages Legacy Funeral Home, Rose Chapel, in Mesa. Like many more mortuaries, Legacy is also handling the COVID-19 services. Gamboa had said that they had around 20 to 25 over the company's three valley locations. Due to the high usage of PPE kits among healthcare workers and first responders, it is hard to find these for the funeral workers. Even families are dealing with similar problems as they can't find pastors to hold the funeral.
Dignity Memorial, which runs Shadow Mountain, is a nationwide company. Millage said that many valley employees are heading to different cities, which had been hit hardest.

Nick Lowery, a former NFL player is donating hundreds of free tests for the homeless
A former NFL star and Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Famer is trying to map the exposure of the homeless community for Coronavirus and keeping the people with health issues from suffering its deadly consequences. "Nobody cares about us, nobody's going to come to us to take care of us," said Nick Lowery. This is the statement he listens to every day from homeless people. Lowry and his foundation Champions for the Homeless have hosted many dinners, holiday celebrations, and fundraisers for more than a decade. He is again helping them in this time of crisis. Along with Dr. Nancy Gaines-Dillard and her clinic, he is donating around 250 rapid antibody tests.
"This test only takes ten minutes, it's 92 to 95 percent accurate, and most importantly, it will give us an obvious sense of the demographics of the homeless population and how much the virus has penetrated this population," said Lowery. He plans to start the testing at the Vincent De Paul's Resource Center, where 150 people will get tested, including staff. The test requires only a drop of blood and a small amount of reagent.
The test can reveal three things.
- Harmful exposure to the virus.
- Recent exposure or currently positive.
- Antibodies from past exposure.
For every person who gets tested through Dr. Nancy's integrative Medicine or peak health, one test will be donated for the homeless. They hope to test more than 1000 people by the end of May.

26 de abril de 2020 (10:29 CET) Sara Carbonero ha encontrado en su Instagram una de las mejores maneras de comunicarse con sus seguidores. Si bien es cierto que la mujer de IkerCasillas no es que sea precisamente de las it girls españolas mas prolíficas, sí que mantiene una cierta regularidad. Lo que sí que hace que, según los expertos, el Instagram de Carbonero sea uno de los mejor valorados es que Sara suele ser muy variada en cuanto a sus publicaciones. Pese a que todas tienen un mismo tono en cuanto a la imagen y el color, los temas de sus publicaciones siempre varían. “Intuyo que estamos pasando por todos los estados posibles estos días; desde el asombro a la esperanza y de la emoción al miedo, pero es que yo no quiero dejar de soñar, no quiero. Sé que debo priorizar necesidades y es exactamente lo que estamos haciendo, pero me ha costado una vida saber qué es lo importante como para mirar ahora hacia otro lado. Sé que el mundo se cae a pedazos pero es que yo no quiero reinventarme, volverme budista ni comprar aguacates ecológicos; no quiero hacer pan, memorizar asanas ni ser mejor que nadie —quiero comer cecina, coleccionar museos, soñar con Menorca y llenar los mapas de chinchetas; levantar la copa, brindar por los sueños imposibles y seguir pensando (ya lo hacía antes) que la vida es la piel erizada, nada más” . Una vez más, texto inspirador de @nadaimporta . (Ojalá ahí, ahora, ese viaje, en esa casa en el campo con los amigos, despeinada y sin poder abrir los ojos por el sol) . #yoyalosabía #20deabril #yaquedamenos #actitudpositiva #aporlasemana #slowlife Una publicación compartida de Sara Carbonero (@saracarbonero) el 20 Abr, 2020 a las 11:36 PDT En especial desde que hace unos meses comunicara que le habían extirpado un tumor del ovario. Antes de la mala noticia, Sara solía centrar buena parte de sus publicaciones en sus posados con modelitos o con complementos, así como su día a día o sus escapadas con amigos. La foto de Sara Carbonero Y es que, por mucho que la lectura y el periodismo sean dos de sus principales pasiones, la moda siempre ha ocupado un lugar destacado en sus gustos. Y ahora lo ha vuelto a demostrar colgando una foto en su Instagram que no ha pasado precisamente desapercibida. Una imagen en la que vemos la portada de un libro de fotografías en la que aparece ni más ni menos que la modelo KateMoss sin nada de ropa. Una de las fotos más icónicas de la modelo británica y que ya forma parte de la historia también de la fotografía de retrato. Y claro, teniendo en cuenta quien es y la “belleza” de la foto, los likes y los comentarios no han hecho otra cosa que dispararse. Son más de 20.000 en apenas unas horas. Por lo que se refiere a los comentarios, si bien algunos han asegurado que Moss “no es un ejemplo a seguir”, la gran mayoría han preferido quedarse con la belleza de la foto en sí con comentarios como “brutal”, “Que foto tan bonita Sara” o “Es bella, pero tú eres más guapa Sara”.

Borst snakt naar 'sterke man' in het Nederlands voetbal - Ajax Showtime
Hugo Borst is van mening dat er een 'sterke man' op moet staan in het Nederlands voetbal. Bij vele clubs in de Eredivisie en Keuken Kampioen Divisie komen er financieel zware tijden aan door de coronacrisis en het is nu tijd voor eenduidigheid. Borst betwijfelt of Eric Gudde, huidig directeur betaald voetbal, dat kan brengen. 'Er moet nu echt een plan gemaakt worden', spreekt Borst in de uitzending van NOS Studio Sport. 'Ik snak ook naar een sterke man. Ik denk dat meneer Gudde echt niet overeind blijft, straks ook in het geweld van rechtszaken. Cruijff is dood en Van Gaal zit in Portugal, maar er moet iemand opstaan die iedereen bij elkaar grijpt en zegt: zo gaan we het doen.' De schrijver denkt tevens dat de voetballerij vooral zichzelf moet helpen. Steun vanuit de overheid verwacht hij niet zo snel. 'Ik vrees een beetje dat het kabinet veel meer interesse heeft om de breedtesport te steunen. Het voetbal heeft als nadeel dat het een poederig imago heeft. Het valt niet mee om geld uit te trekken voor clubs die pakweg een halfjaar geleden een speler voor heel veel geld hebben gekocht.' Ook Frans van Seumeren, eigenaar van FC Utrecht, zit aan tafel. Die club komt wellicht niet snel in grote problemen, maar hij erkent de gevolgen die de coronacrisis voor de clubs kan hebben. 'Alles hangt af van wanneer we weer gaan voetballen. Stel je voor dat het voetbal tot het einde van het jaar niet meer op de televisie uitgezonden wordt, dan heb je het bij FC Utrecht algauw over drie, vier miljoen.'
