Last summer’s 10-fold jump in Covid cases in Odesa is chronicled in The Washington Post in a story headlined: “In Ukraine’s Odessa, summer crowds ditched their masks. It’s now a hot spot in Europe’s ‘second wave.’” The story follows the journey of an Odesa taxi driver, Igor Trofimchuk, who took his ailing 82-year-old mother Nina to three hospitals. At the first one, she was turned away because she came on foot, not by ambulance. At a third hospital, she was admitted after a 7-hour wait. The doctor in charge of the ICU went home for the night and several patients died overnight. His mother died the next day.
