He had been sick since Friday the doctor told him he was through the worst and sent him home. He died with his wife at home. She is a RN. He lived in St. Amant.
19

Gonna need age, weight and comorbidities

Damn that sucks. Lots of people downplaying this but it’s serious.

What was his 40?
Posted on 3/31/20 at 8:08 pm to Bow dude72
I wonder if he had a heart attack or something or if the doctor just sent him home because he was younger. Seems strange that the doctor would think he was in the clear basically and then he suddenly passes.

Did he test positive for COVID-19? There are cases where the heart is affected, but are rare.

This is the difference in this virus versus the flu. I personally know two elderly people 81 years of age who died from it this past week and I know two others who might not make it.

People will be adamant about the virus not being a big deal until they or one of their loved ones gets it. Sure it may not have a high mortality rate, but facts are it can kill and we should take the proper precautions. Maybe not sacrifice the economy, but people should not be blowing this off like so many are.

That’s not uncommon. People battle it for days, often at home, then think they’ve turned a corner, but are critical within hours.

First of all, I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s absolutely terrible and I pray for everyone involved. Secondly, ******if****** the gentleman you speak of is the same guy I’m seeing circulating Facebook, (i have family in the st amant area) he was extremely overweight which leads me to believe he had some type of underlying health issue. I am not trying to sound like a dick at all and I apologize if I come off insensitive. It doesn’t change the fact that he’s a young man with a family who died and that’s really sad

Sorry to hear that man. How is his wife, has she been tested ?
Posted on 3/31/20 at 10:37 pm to Bow dude72
Shame on the people who are trying to find anything negative on the man who passed. Apparently if you’re not ripped, young, and, handsome than you’re prone to die to the disease. What a bunch of losers

A few shifts ago I brought a guy under 30, perfect health, no hx of medical problems. Looked like a marathon runner, with diarrhea, fever, shortness of breath. He went to shite, sent to icu, tested positive and damn near didn’t make it, he did survive.
An acquaintance of mine, mid 40s, smokes 2 packs a day, HTN, tested positive and didn’t have many issues at all. Only reason he got tested was b/c he is in healthcare. He said he was 100% over it by the time the results came back but staying quarantined

So very sorry

Did they give hi hydroxychloroquine, a Z-pack, and Zinc? If not, why not?

Sorry to hear that. My guesses on this stuff
- Anyone can be killed by this, the same way anyone can get severe pneumonia and die.
- It's not common for that to happen to reasonably healthy young people, and it's not common here. It's especially uncommon for people in half-decent health.
- You're hearing about almost every death in the country that involves a younger, decently healthy person. It's media sensationalism (which is responding to our desire to know) but it's not reflective of the average severe case and quite rare among deaths.
- There are probably thousands and thousands of fat, out of shape Americans in mediocre health who've already recovered from this.
- Keep in mind that even older people with serious underlying issues (excluding run of the mill obesity or such) are surviving this at a pretty good clip.
For those curious, the Georgia DPH has a running list of fatalities and where known, lists age and underlying health issues (doesn't tell you which issue).

Sounds like she's single

Did he attend Mardi Gras ?

I guess now I’ve heard from someone on the internet that knows someone who knows someone who got the virus.
