Lorraine Caggiano and family members from New York traveled to Connecticut for a wedding early in March, before calls for social distancing. When they came back, Caggiano’s mother came down with a fever, and then her father got sick, and Caggiano herself, as well as her husband and her daughter, and Caggiano’s aunt.

“I lost my dad and my aunt within two and a half days of each other,” Caggiano said.
