Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
A second Chicago firefighter has died from COVID-19. The Chicago Fire Department announced Wednesday that Firefighter Edward Singleton, 55, died Tuesday night. Singleton was assigned to Midway Airport and joined the department in 1987. He leaves behind a wife and two adult children.
Last Monday, a funeral was held for Mario Araujo, who was the first Chicago firefighter to die from COVID-19 complications.
While new deaths are still being reported, there is also evidence that Chicago is flattening the curve. The mayor and Chicago Public Health Department commissioner spoke in detail about steps, like the stay-at-home order, that have had a positive impact.
