A school principal, a nurse, an actor. A Tony-winning playwright, a pediatric neurosurgeon, a jazz pianist. The coronavirus epidemic is an undiscriminating reaper. It has brought death to all walks of life, all economic backgrounds, all races and all the continents.

The New York Times is writing portraits of this diverse group of people, in a project called “Those We’ve Lost,” and we are asking for help from readers. Please tell us if you know of anyone whose story we might tell.

A reporter or editor may contact you. Please be aware that we can publish only a small fraction of the suggestions we receive.
