Sep 1, 20200:39Now Playing(AP) The city turned an island park into an extraordinary memorial garden Monday as cars packed with families slowly passed hundreds of photos of Detroit residents who died from COVID-19.
Mayor Mike Duggan declared a Detroit Memorial Day to honor the 1,500-plus city victims of the pandemic.
Hearses led solemn all-day processions around Belle Isle Park on the Detroit River after bells rang across the region at 8:45 a.m.
More than 900 photos submitted by families were staked like billboards around Belle Isle, revealing the crushing breadth of the virus.
For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms. But it can cause severe symptoms in and be fatal for others, especially older adults and people with existing health problems.
