On Wednesday evening, dozens of motorists parked in front of a home on Elderica Way in Lodi, rolled their windows down and turned on their cellphone flashlights to show their support for a Lodi resident who has been devastated by the novel coronavirus.

Karen Baumbach has been in quarantine at her home for the past two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. Her husband Jeff had also tested positive, and passed away from the disease Monday. He was 57.

“She’s broken,” Karen Baumbach’s mother, Sharleen Leal, said Thursday. “I think if she wasn’t quarantined and the kids could be there (she’d be okay). But she’s alone.”

How horrible for her. When she needs to be surrounded by the people she loves she is isolated.

That is the most horrible thing about this monster.

It makes us dangerous to our loved ones and isolates us from them at he worst possible time, when we’re dying.

God bless this poor woman :(

Where is Lodi? I know there is a Lodi in Wisconsin, but I doubt this story is about Wisconsin’s Lodi. It would be nice if stories were more clear.

My daughter, hubby and two kids have been living with me for years. I put hubby thru college. He is now a nurse and is starting to see covid patients on his floor.

I set up a travel trailer beside my house for him to live in until this is over.
