Description
Love in the Shadow of Death explores the professional and intertwined lives of doctors as they and their family members come down with the COVID. It also delves into the suffering of their patients as they recover or die alone in the hospital. A new, fictional variant, named Pi, that solely affects the brain and causes Amnestic Brain Fog, brings about considerable turmoil and debate as to whether the virus was created in a lab to be selectively released in New York. One doctor embarks on unearthing the mystery.
