It’s a very sad story. Someone posted it in one of the other threads.

I saw this earlier and it is so scary to think about where he was exposed to the virus and how many others he exposed. Did he take it with him to Florida? Get exposed at the work conference or did he spread it there? Did he get exposed at WDW/Universal or was he the one exposing others? He certainly was exposing others on his flight home. Have any of the crew & passengers been notified? DH has been through LAX a couple times in the last month traveling to and from Seattle. It is very scary to think the wrong touch on a surface or proximity to a cough puts you in danger.

That's so sad. And hopefully a wake up call to people who still think it's only the elderly who are at risk.

Sadly -- and despite the family claiming he was approved for antiviral meds -- the medication was delayed in getting to him
( above was copied and pasted from the link) -------------------------------------------------------------- Poor guy and all who love him!!! WHY were his meds delayed ? Also---did you notice how LONG it took for his test to come back? Was it because this was just a HOAX? Was it because it was "just the fake news / Democrats trying to scare everyone?"  Imagine alllll of his friends, family, co-workers and how afraid they'll be---have they all been tested? And, like bc2ca said---allllllll the people at the conference, the hotels, Disney, the airports, etc. In the meantime, we have allllllll those college students partying away at the beaches, saying only old people need to worry. WHY WEREN'T THOSE BEACHES CLOSED?  And don't forget---it's not just the Cheeto in Charge, but that asshole Rush Limbaugh also said it was fake, etc. I wonder if they will ever admit they were WRONG?  I also would LOVE to know how Trump / Limbaugh supporters feel NOW?

Quick, someone make a TikTok video.

This one scares me more than the rest. My asthmatic 19 year old son lives in northern San Diego county and I'm worried about him. He has been self-isolating for the last week so I just hope that's enough. My 23 yo DD is also self-isolating in CA. Their dad started working from home a couple days ago but he does go see his gf often at her house (I think she is mostly self-isolating also).

Meanwhile Trump sycophants are still worried about Trump's ego vs. the truth of this pandemic.

"he flew from L.A. to Orlando on March 2 for a work conference, but stayed a few extra days to visit Disney World and Universal theme parks with friends...We're told on March 7 he developed a cough, and the next day he coughed up blood. He flew back to LAX on March 9 ... and immediately went to the ER, where he also had a high fever."
First of all I feel sorry for this man. It's sad that many people aren't aware of the precautions they should be taking. Disney should have been closed down at the beginning of March and, knowing about Corona virus, and knowing he was tested and actively coughing and raising sputum, whether it was Corona or pneumonia or something else, getting on a plane while coughing like that means he exposed everyone to his germs. That's the problem I have with flying in general. People fly all the time when they are sick and we are all exposed to it for hours at a time.
