The Wider Image: Indians share the stories of loved ones they lost to the pandemic
Asim Khan, a businessman, shows a picture on his phone of his brother-in-law Jamal Khan, 41, a farmer, who died due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as he poses for a photograph, in New Delhi, India, September 24, 2020. According to Asim, Jamal developed a fever in August and local doctors failed to realise he was COVID-positive. It was only when he was transferred to Delhi, ten days after he first became ill, that he was diagnosed. By then, his lungs were badly damaged, and he died soon after, according to his brother, Asim. "My brother-in-law was a farmer. He never got sick and was healthy," said Asim. "If he would have been diagnosed on time in his own native place, he would have surely survived."
