More than just a COVID-19 case number
Besides his case number, little was known about the elderly man who visited his wife every day before he succumbed to the virus. A Stand News reporter takes on the heart-rending task of reminding us that each casualty from COVID-19 had a story and left behind loved ones. He entreats us to remember our growing pains from the previous year's protests and continue to thrive in spite of our struggles.

[Travel Reflections] Iranian friend worried for Hongkongers facing US sanctions
“I heard that Hong Kong is sanctioned by the United States. Is it true?” On the other side of the telephone was the voice of my Iranian friend in a worried tone.
I was caught off guard by the question, hesitated for a few seconds and then responded, “Probably yes...”
“What to do then? It’s no joking being sanctioned by the United States. Just look at our situation…. Do you need help?”
