Who Killed Keylan Knapp?

We face not only a coronavirus pandemic, but also a loneliness pandemic.

Farlan was fired from his job and descended into a spiral of drug and alcohol abuse, dying of liver failure. His younger brother Zealan died in a house fire when he was passed out drunk. Nathan blew himself up cooking meth. Rogena died of hepatitis from injecting drugs. The only survivor was the youngest, Keylan Knapp, and he survived largely because he spent 13 years in the Oregon State Penitentiary. Keylan found it a little strange to have the spotlight of The Times and a best-selling book on him and his family, and he was looking forward to appearing onstage with me in Los Angeles at a (now delayed) conference, speaking about “Tightrope” and his family’s story. I think he chafed a bit at having the family tale told by others; he wanted to share it himself. I looked forward to that as well. But this month Keylan’s girlfriend left the house and when she came back a bit more than an hour later, he was dead from a heroin overdose. I think back to the five optimistic, talented Knapp children on the school bus with me, and I can’t believe that they are all gone. Keylan’s passing is a reminder that we face not only a coronavirus pandemic but also a [“deaths of despair”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgYiZDP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMC8wMy8wNi9vcGluaW9uL3dvcmtpbmctY2xhc3MtZGVhdGgtcmF0ZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQ1JmVtYz1lZGl0X25rXzIwMjAwMzI4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE3MTY0Jm5sPW5pY2hvbGFzLWtyaXN0b2YmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIzMjA2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoALEOhf15mhPoXUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) pandemic arising from economic frustration among tens of millions of Americans who have been left behind.

He could have been Keylan. But he moved to California through Job Corps and he says, “It saved my life”; now he’s thriving and working in the tech sector.

But it’s appalling that it comes to this: Surgeons should not have to depend on their kids to make public appeals to get safety equipment for them. We would never send soldiers naked into battle, and it’s outrageous that we’re trying to send medical workers into battle without protection. In northern Italy, about one-fifth of medical workers [have been infected](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgYiZDP4QLAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5iY25ld3MuY29tL2hlYWx0aC9oZWFsdGgtbmV3cy9pdGFseS1oYXMtd29ybGQtY2xhc3MtaGVhbHRoLXN5c3RlbS1jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy1oYXMtcHVzaGVkLWl0LW4xMTYyNzg2P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQ1JmVtYz1lZGl0X25rXzIwMjAwMzI4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE3MTY0Jm5sPW5pY2hvbGFzLWtyaXN0b2YmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIzMjA2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoALEOhf15mhPoXUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) with the coronavirus, and they often have unusually poor outcomes (perhaps because the virus is dose-responsive, and health workers get larger than normal doses). I’ve been writing about Covid since [January](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgYiZDP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wMS8yOS9vcGluaW9uL2Nvcm9uYXZpcnVzLWNoaW5hLWdvdmVybm1lbnQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ua18yMDIwMDMyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNzE2NCZubD1uaWNob2xhcy1rcmlzdG9mJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yMzIwNiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACxDoX9eZoT6F1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), and the authorities have had two months to bolster supplies of protective equipment. Yet supplies are so low that nurses at one New York hospital received a text the other evening telling them to turn in their flimsy single-use masks (the kind that would normally be tossed after seeing each patient) so that they could be sterilized and used again the next day. This is simply a betrayal of the people who staff our hospitals, from doctors and nurses to technicians and cleaners. A Postcard for Our Time Another reader alerted me to this postcard, which seems to be arriving at many homes across the country, including mine. On one side it has instructions for dealing with the coronavirus, such as to work or study from home wherever possible. But what strikes me is the headline “President Trump’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America.” To me it comes across as a campaign mailing, and we taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for his campaign mailings. I can’t recall anything like this in past administrations.

I think of it now apropos of both Keylan Knapp and the coronavirus epidemic: No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
