https://www.wmcactionnews5.com/2020/08/03/we-were-regular-family-ga-teen-loses-both-parents-covid-days-apart/JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (WSB/CNN) - A 17-year-old from Georgia says he will use strength he gained from his parents and their love to get through his grief following their deaths, just four days apart, from COVID-19.
Justin Hunter, 17, says he and his parents, Angie and Eugene Hunter, took all the proper precautions, but about two weeks ago, the whole family tested positive for COVID-19.
The new "normal?"
= new reply since forum marked as read
it's a heartbreaking shame they got it!
I wonder how they got it?
Although, perhaps they weren't taking all precautions.
At the end of the article, the grieving teen talks briefly about dedicating his fall school sports season to his parents. 😳
So sad.
wonder how anyone gets who is taking precautions.
Even Herman Cain who didn't believe in the Virus.. I wonder exactly who gave it to him?
On how coughs & sneezes disperse droplets. Why they have been saying 6' - who knows?
Perhaps 27' is too inconvenient?
the bank at once. That could be one reason some people are catching it even though they're following protocol except for the "27ft"safe distancing?
I take the bus and there's not even 6 ft distancing on there. All passengers are wearing masks, though.😷😷😷😷
Be safe, Cha!

So according to this.. 4 People are recovering from COVID on Kauai.
We're doing pretty good.. started following the guidelines early on.
I was just curious if there's anyway it could be narrowed down where they could have gotten it?
My paternal grandfather passed on from the 1918 Pandemic and he got it from working in a train station in Eastern Colorado in 1919.
And focus on what "recovered" really means!
If media was doing its job, we would not need to read medical journals to find out what happens to people!
Justin Hunter is 17 years old, his parents are gone, and he has tested positive for the virus. He says he's asymptomatic, but how does he really know? Maybe he just hasn't started showing symptoms yet. He has gone to stay with relatives, so I have to wonder if they're taking precautions?
I'm not being judgmental - I'm saying that a lot of education and follow-up needs to happen with these families who lose their loved ones. If Justin is asymptomatic, then he could be spreading the virus wherever he goes. Is he going to school? Playing on a football team? Hanging out with friends?
In my opinion there's not enough outreach to the African American families to explain that vitamin D deficiency (or the possibility of it) is making the AA's more likely to die from Covid-19. Vitamin D deficiency is more common among darker skinned people, and that's not a racist statement. A British epidemiologist researcher Dr. John Cavanaugh is on Youtube with daily Covid-19 updates, and I have learned a lot from his blogs. People of color should be told this so they can act accordingly, possibly take vitamin D supplements, perhaps a change of diet, among other things. Vitamin D will not prevent someone from being exposed, but it should help mitigate some of the damaging effects of the virus on the lungs, the heart and other organs.
Best of luck to Justin Hunter!
