Texas man died from C19 after his granddaughter spread infection to him from attending a party

A Texas man died after he was hospitalized for coronavirus after he was infected by his granddaughter after she attended a party.

Dr. Joseph Chang, chief medical officer at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas, told WFAA that the "20-something" girl visited her 80-year-old grandparents after going to a party with her friends.

The girl wasn't showing symptoms, but all three of the family members were taken into the hospital's intensive care unit, Chang told the outlet.

The granddaughter reportedly spent 10 days unconscious before she woke up and found out her grandfather had died one day earlier.

And there'll be more of that if kids are sent back to school too soon.

6. She was intubated. So she may have lifelong issues herself, as well as a now shortened life.

Her story and that of other young people that didn’t take needed precautions need to be repeated far and wide, maybe that will keep young people from endangering older relatives.
