Dragging this over from the main thread. I find this story incredibly sad, and there will be tens of thousands of others. While the racists will claim he was an affirmative action beneficiary (no evidence of that) or question why he was just graduating at age 25, I see a young man who did something I could never do: get a Chemical Engineering degree. So young, so accomplished, so promising, at the start of his life:
Here's a story about a young man from Detroit who died from COVID19. He was 25 years old and about to graduate from Western Michigan University with a Chemical Engineering degree. His sister says he was refused a test although symptomatic and dismissed by a health professional who told him he had bronchitis.

Every death to this scourge is meaningful. I thought we should have a place to remember those who didn't win awards, weren't famous, and were just trying to live their lives.
