Do you know someone who has died from COVID-19? Share their story with us.

With the surge of the omicron variant, it’s likely everyone knows someone who has been touched by COVID-19 at this point.

Thankfully, most of the cases in the recent surge have been milder, but some vulnerable patients can still be severely affected by the virus.

The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 hit 900,000 on Friday, less than two months after eclipsing 800,000. That two-year total, as compiled by Johns Hopkins University, is greater than the population of Indianapolis, San Francisco, or Charlotte, North Carolina.

Some health experts believe the U.S. could reach 1 million deaths by April.

For many, those are just numbers. But for those who have lost loved ones to COVID-19, they are so much more, and News4JAX would be honored to share some of their stories.
