An 82-year-old Michigan woman reportedly died after catching Covid-19 from a friend who hid a Covid-19 infection so that they could attend a card game.

Lauren Nash told WXYZ that her grandmother, Barb Bartolovich, took precautions against Covid-19. She was vaccinated and limited her interactions with other people.

Before attending a card game late last year, Bartolovich made sure that everyone else was vaccinated too. "Everyone said yes," WXYZ reported. "But her loved ones say then one player took a gamble at that card game that no one else saw coming."

"Somebody decided that testing positive for COVID is something they can hide," Nash said. "The only way we found out is that the person owned up after Nana got sick."

1. There needs to be lawsuits over this.

Win or lose, start sueing. People hate it when their pocketbook takes a hit.
Make an example of every one of these asses.

2. Hey what's the problem losing a Nana?

She’s old and she probably went fast after she couldn’t talk or breathe… only a few hours of pain. Totally worth an hours worth of Texas hold ‘em.
