For weeks we watched as Wuhan, China, was ravaged by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), wondering what the future had in store for us. On January 21, 2020, the first known case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on US soil was identified 20 miles north of Seattle in the town of Everett, WA. On Friday, February 28, the nation's first reported death due to COVID-19 infection was disclosed, followed by the second mortality case a mere 48 hours later. Both were patients with kidney failure dialyzing with Northwest Kidney Centers in our ambulatory clinics and subsequently under the care of our Hospital Services team.
