Remembering Some of the 500,000 Americans Lost to the COVID-19 Pandemic

As the death toll from the pandemic passes 500,000, we wanted to take a moment to remember some of the individuals behind that gruesome number. There are half a million individuals who lived and were loved. Among them, Inside Edition’s own Bob Read, who worked at the show for 30 years, and our Los Angeles-based freelance cameraman, Sal Casillas. We mourn both deeply, along with the hundreds of thousands of others who have succumbed to the virus.
