According to the Department of Health, more than 867,000 people have contracted the virus and parts of Brooklyn and Queens have been COVID-19 hotspots. All of those who died in the pandemic or continue to suffer are remembered every day by Stanley Davis, who performs a special task to ensure that everyone in his Bedford-Stuyvesant community remembers them, too.
