[quote:Anonymous Coward 38610981:MV80MzMxMjUzXzc4ODUyODQ3X0VCMzNFQzE1] From his daughters account, it's shows the terrifying swiftness of covid, and the dreadful aftermath in quarantine for many survivors. From the Hill- Alan Merrill, songwriter behind 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll,' dies at 69 from coronavirus By Aris Folley - 03/29/20 09:49 PM EDT Alan Merrill, the former Arrows bandmate who co-wrote and sang "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," died on Sunday at age 69 from the coronavirus, his daughter confirmed. “The Coronavirus took my father this morning. I was given 2 minutes to say my goodbyes before I was rushed out. He seemed peaceful and as I left there was still a glimmer of hope that he wouldn’t be a ticker on the right hand side of the CNN/Fox news screen,” his daughter, Laura Merrill, wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. “I walked 50 blocks home still with hope in my heart. The city that I knew was empty. I felt I was the only person here and perhaps in many ways I was. By the time I got in the doors to my apartment I received the news that he was gone,” she continued. She went on to urge others to “stay home” to limit the spread of COVID-19, writing: “If anything can come of this I beg of you to take this seriously. Money doesn’t matter. People are dying.” “This thing is real … We probably won’t be able to mourn him properly with a funeral. I just lost the greatest love of my life and won’t be able to hug anyone because I’ve been exposed and need to self quarantine for two weeks....alone,” she continued. “I don’t know how to process this.” [/quote]
