El Paso's struggles with COVID-19 hit close to home for many New Mexicans, including Chris Ramirez
There is a rule journalists follow-- the story is never about you. Except the COVID-19 crisis has broken every rule, and the truth of the matter is, I am personally affected just as much as anyone else. In April, I shared my experience of battling the virus after contracting it out-of-state. Today, like you, I’m finding how to cope in today’s world. The separation from my family who live outside of New Mexico has been especially difficult. Watching the crisis unfold in El Paso has been especially painful.
