Within days, an Ohio woman has lost her brother and parents to the novel coronavirus while her husband remains hospitalized on life support.

Kelly Conkey Billups, 54, and her daughter are in quarantine after many of their family members contracted the virus since last month. Kelly’s 51-year-old brother, David Conkey was first to die on Sunday followed by her parents Lewis and Judith Conkey who passed away on Tuesday just hours apart. All three of them had underlying health conditions.

“It’s like a nightmare. It’s like…Knowing that a big winter storm is blowing in and you get prepared and you hunker down and you just wonder how bad it’s going to get, how long it’s going to last and what happens when it’s all over and how you dig yourself out,” Conkey said.
