Adding in the Covid-19 death series is another
shocking tale of 5 friends. These Pakistani men contracted the virus
within the span of 17 days and passed away as the targeted victims. It
is extremely tragic to see all five of them pass away in such a short
time, leaving behind their legacy, heritage, and only memories to their
loved ones.

Living within a 10-mile radius, these middle-aged men: Nazir Awan,
Choudhary Aslam Wassan, Mian Zaffer, Umar Afzal, and Jawad Iqbal. They
all left for their eternal abode last month.
Left behind their legacy with cherishable memories
This group of friends, as evident from the pictures, had spent decades
together. In Birmingham, their career endeavors, philanthropic
activities, their passion for cycling, their business success was the
communities talk every now and then. Their bond, no one could replace…
and now there’s just a hollow vacuum left behind in the homes of the
deceased. There was a time when they all sat together for a cup of tea,
gossiping about every hot and cold news. Their laughter filled the
atmosphere.

Their professional endeavors for the community
People spoke highly of their greater motives to help their community
grow further and claim their success despite being a minority group.
They were often seen at charity events, functions, community gatherings,
and celebrations. Several of them were members of the Local Labour
party. They had employed several local people in their business, leaving
behind a legacy to look up to.
All male, all older, all of the Asian background
Their grandchildren are still quite in a shock to see the tragic
checklist indicated by their deaths: all male, all older, all of the
Asian background. This implores the researchers to understand the causes
of infliction in this group. And, the urgent steps that can be taken to
protect the areas with large minority populations. Areas like Small
Health, Hall Green, and Sparkhill are at most risk.

This disappearance of the generation of men will be remembered earnestly
by their 41 grandchildren and those who cherished their presence as
central to community life.
People, healthcare workers, and doctors are suffering just the same.
Just yesterday a doctor committed suicide, and a few weeks ago many
healthcare individuals were infected because of it. Let us know if you
know any more tragic stories that leave your heart broken and wrenched.
