Covid: Sister raises younger siblings alone after mum’s death – BBC News
“Mum was our everything, then all of a sudden she was gone,” she said.
Faced with the loss of their only parent, the 21-year-old went from big sister to the sole carer of her younger brothers and sisters – Kala-Jai, 19, Jayden, 17, Preston-James, 14, and seven-year-old Bobbee-Mae -overnight.
Chelsea was determined the five of them would not be split up, so she became the glue to hold them together.
She says: “I pulled my big girl knickers up and said to myself: ‘Come on Chels, you can do this. Be brave.’
“My mum raised us alone and always taught us that no matter what life throws at you, you’ve to dust yourself down and come back stronger. If I took myself away from the kids, where would they go? It just wasn’t an option. I had to make sure we all stayed together.”

Ask An Epidemiologist: Is New York Reopening Too Fast? – Gothamist
- “If I was making a decision about which stadiums to be opening, it makes sense to focus on Yankee Stadium rather than Madison Square Garden, because we can feel a little bit more confident in people gathering in an outdoor setting,” she said.
- “We also need to keep in mind things that happened on the way to and from these events,” Nash said, “as well as the employees, the ticket takers, the people that are working in food vending areas that are coming into contact with a lot of people over the course of the event that we need to be very concerned about.”

- “I still would encourage us to be incredibly cautious as we go about reopening,” said Piltch-Loeb. “But I also think that we need to have some perspective that we’re not a hundred percent in a space of doom and gloom.”
