JUDY WOODRUFF: As COVID-19 
continues to take more and more 
lives of Americans every day,

2
00:00:06,766 --> 00:00:10,600
here now are some of the 
stories of those we have lost.

3
00:00:12,633 --> 00:00:16,800
Postal worker Jesus Collazos 
was known for taking the time 
to greet every neighbor along

4
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,633
his mail route in Arlington, 
Virginia. The 67-year-old 
spent over two decades with the

5
00:00:24,533 --> 00:00:29,200
U.S. Postal Service, after 
immigrating from Colombia in 
1978. Jesus and his wife raised

6
00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:36,166
his two children in a 
home he first discovered 
along his route.

7
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:41,133
The proud grandfather loved 
posting family photos on social 
media, always with a simple

8
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,933
caption: "Life is good."

9
00:00:45,933 --> 00:00:50,900
Lynika Strozier never gave 
up on her dream to become a 
biologist. As a child, she was

10
00:00:52,833 --> 00:00:57,033
diagnosed with a severe learning 
disability, but went on to 
earn two master's degrees in

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,966
biology and science education. 
She became a researcher of 
plant DNA at the world-renowned

12
00:01:05,166 --> 00:01:10,166
Field Museum in Chicago, 
and a science professor 
at Malcolm X College.

13
00:01:12,066 --> 00:01:16,100
Fun-loving and friendly, Lynika 
was as at home in the lab 
as she was out with friends,

14
00:01:18,066 --> 00:01:22,666
or watching horror movies with 
her grandmother Sharon, who 
raised her. Lynika was 35 years

15
00:01:24,633 --> 00:01:27,233
old.

16
00:01:27,233 --> 00:01:30,633
Dr. Robert Hull cared 
for thousands of patients 
in his nearly 50 years 
practicing family medicine

17
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,400
in Arkansas. His patients, 
some of whose families he 
treated for generations, 
said he was encouraging,

18
00:01:41,133 --> 00:01:46,100
had a great sense of humor, 
and could lift anyone's spirits 
with a smile and a lollipop.

19
00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:52,133
Robert, or Ray, and his wife, 
Kathryn, were married for 56 
years. Ray was always there

20
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:59,300
for dance recitals, sports games 
and graduations for his four 
children and 10 grandchildren.

21
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,433
He was 78.

22
00:02:04,433 --> 00:02:09,433
Eva Konrad Hawkins, a Holocaust 
survivor and scientist, fled 
communist Hungary in 1956.

23
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:17,900
She found refuge in America, 
and a home in New York City. 
A university biology teacher,

24
00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:24,500
Eva was committed to her 
work on algae research. 
Her family described 
the 90-year-old's smile

25
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:31,266
as childlike, her personality 
as quiet and shy, but her 
energy toward her research as

26
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:35,733
ferocious.

27
00:02:35,733 --> 00:02:40,733
Allen Y. Lew changed the 
cityscape of Washington, 
D.C., as a city planning 
executive. Born and

28
00:02:43,333 --> 00:02:48,233
raised in New York City, 
Allen moved to Washington 
to spearhead development 
of the downtown Convention

29
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:54,900
Center. He went on to 
build Nationals baseball 
park and rehabilitate 
D.C. public schools.

30
00:02:57,133 --> 00:03:02,100
Friends described Allen as 
no-nonsense and reliable, loyal 
and considerate. A husband

31
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,200
to Suling and father to 
Garrett, Allen was 69 years old.

32
00:03:11,433 --> 00:03:16,200
Our hearts go out to their 
families and to all those who've 
lost loved ones during this

33
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,833
pandemic.
