Paul Frishkorn, 65, had been a flight attendant with American Airlines since 1997. According to the association, this is American's first COVID-19 related death. "Our industry, our airline and all of us have been affected by COVID-19 in different ways, but until now we hadn't lost one of our own," the airline said. "This loss hits home in a different, personal way from the headlines." RELATED ‘The pandemic is accelerating’: WHO suggests more aggressive measures be taken to stop COVID-19 MAP: This is
