Isabelle Papadimitriou, 64, a respiratory therapist in Dallas, had been treating a surge of patients as the Texas economy reopened. She developed coronavirus symptoms June 27 and tested positive two days later. The disease was swift and brutal. She died the morning of the Fourth of July.
The holiday had always been her daughters favorite. Fiana Tulip loved the family cookouts, the fireworks, the feeling of America united. Now, she wonders if shell ever be able to celebrate it again. In mourning, shes furious.
Tulip, 40, had seen her country fail to control the virus. She had seen Texas ease restrictions even as case counts and hospitalizations soared. She had seen fellow citizens refuse to wear a mask or engage in social distancing.
I feel like her death was a hundred percent preventable. Im angry at the Trump administration. Im angry with the state of our politics. Im angry at the people who even now refuse to wear masks, she said.
