The cruel fate of an American family hit by the coronavirus has drawn attention around the world, after six children had to farewell their mum in hospital by walkie-talkie.
Sundee Rutter, 42, died in Everett, Washington from Covid-19 as her children said goodbye from the other side of a window.
Like other sufferers in the pandemic, she was unable to have her loved ones near her for fear of infection.
US media reports said that Rutter had only in January been told she was beating breast cancer and was in remission.
