    1. This widow is a straight up a master troll, out here talking about him like he is Jerry Sandusky. I’m sure the kids teacher touched a lot of people but come on lady, he is not even in the ground yet!

    2. I’m a middle aged Englishman and your reaction is normal, this disease keeps breaking my heart too. Keep yourself safe for goodness sake, love.

    3. @One Gun
      You don’t just cry during mourning. Please reconsider your life because it is not healthy for a Human to live without empathy.

    4. Id guess that its harder for those who have died or lost their loved ones or experiencing symptoms

    1. The stupidity of people who believe the media and government gets me indiscriminately! Stand up for your rights before they are completely gone!

  1. RIP Ben — real Salt of the Earth people.
    Condolences to wife Brandy, family, and friends. Please don’t ever forget him. This is how you can honor him.

    Let me add, off topic real quick, that I cannot believe that some idiots have threatened Dr Anthony Fauci and say that this is a conspiracy by him. I mean, What? Now he needs armed security at all times. I cry for humanity.

    1. @ Wasn’t me!: You mean like CNN and MSNBC purporting that the Russians hacked the DNC servers, or that Hillary had a 96% chance at being elected POTUS, or that Trump colluded with the Russians. Yeah, there’s always going to be someone, somewhere . . .

    2. Car Photography in the old days they had mental institutions for โ€œpatientsโ€ like u!!!!!

    3. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Film Your Hospital people CLEARLY do not even listen to what is being spoken. For the love of God, this woman literally said why you wouldnโ€™t see anyone waiting in a hospital queue. Good. God. Beauty is fleeting but dumb is forever. The sad part is itโ€™s the idiots who donโ€™t think this is a big deal or itโ€™s a hoax, those people wonโ€™t die but theyโ€™ll sure as hell help cause the unnecessary deaths of thousands of intelligent, kind-hearted, innocent lives by their selfish behaviors and insane conspiracies.

    4. @Cipher Crypto abd how America going to do that. going to war with China will kill millions China has more than enough nukes to hit every msjor US city, that option is MAD. America certainly can’t do it economically, it cant even stop its own markets collapsing.

  2. They are telling people to stay home until you start feeling like itโ€™s hard to breathe but by then it is already too late! This is dangerous advice.

    1. @lina nicolia actually guessing by a Dr is thier job so who cares if you don’t like it also tests are in for those who need them

    2. why they let infected people go back home ? infecting their whole family (and probably spreading it to the community) omg. in China, some whole families die in the beginning of the breakout. that’s why they isolated even suspected cases or people with mild symptoms in separate places (like the stadiums converted to quarantine facilities) — that’s how you cut further spreading!

      omg if they continue this SOP of letting infected out, so much more will be infected

    3. @Meh The wife had it first, not the husband. She wasn’t adversely affected but he was. It is Genetics. Some people’s immune system will “overreact” to the virus.

    4. @Dog Man Update me of when masks will be available to the general public!!!! They don’t even have enough for hospital workers. Most of us don’t care about politics but are here today.

    5. @Christ IsLord Obummer has been out of office for years. Time for Trump to stand on his own two feet and stop reaching into the past.

  3. Iโ€™m so, so sorry๐Ÿ˜ž I went and held my husband and cried after watching this. Hold on to your loved ones. They are your everything, and you theirโ€™s.

    (Iโ€™ve been mulling over this story. I wonder, from the objective standpoint, if the lesson we can take from this beautiful manโ€™s passing is that everyone needs to get to the ER ASAP if breathing becomes short once, twice, whatever. Even if theyโ€™re overcrowded and ventilators limited, maybe thereโ€™s a chance youโ€™ll at least be under observation and can be rescued.
    Also, I wonder if the humidifier contributed? How long did they have that in use with him? Just that last, precious night? Or from the beginning of symptoms?
    When people are sick with URIโ€™s, we often reach for those devices and they help.
    BUT.
    If you have pneumonia, I would think you donโ€™t want to be breathing in more fluids via vapor. You want to stay dry. But talk to a doctor about that, donโ€™t take my speculation as fact.

    1. @K Sakamoto Oh yeah, I am the nutjob, as people demand their rights be taken, and believe all this bs. Funny how everyone and their dog was calling out fake news before this, and now, suddenly, its all real? I have known the news is fake for the last 20 years, and others did too, I guess they all forgot! Someone has to be the nutjob, and that would be, those who still believe the government and media, who do nothing but lie!

    2. @Paul Robinson LOL, well, you have to admit, its a hell of a money making opportunity, since so many people believe this nonsense, lucky me, I wouldn’t buy a mask, because I do not need one, because this virus, is fake! The flu is real, pneumonia is real, colds are real, bronchitis is real, this coronavirus, is fake and a ploy to take our rights!

    3. Well they normally do x-rays to rule out bronchitis and pneumonia…it is not Corona but 5g radio waves k*****g people which arrests your throat…and respiratory system….so they name it Corona to cover up wiping out humanity…5g is on cruise ships and in the hospitals and towers installed in every country hence rapid rate of d***h and accelerated symptoms…

    1. anuj tomar chutiya poor ka matlab bas garib nhi hota ..poor bechari ko b bolte hai…gaandu English seekh le phir hagiyo yaha aake

    1. Be afraid of this government, not a fake virus, start not being afraid and start standing up for your rights, or lose them forever!

    2. Scary moment indeed. We have to stay prayful.
      Follow the preventative rules regarding this virus And be appreciative of one another.

    3. @Ana Hicks-Mckenzie Or wake up and realize it is all fake to take our rights, push The Green New Deal, which is communism!

  4. May God give you courage to face the massive loss, stay strong my friend, there are things we have to face within life as it comes with no choice, thats reality. Stay safe, stay blessed.

    1. Keep God out of this or was he the one who takes responsibly for this. We need to be strong for each other and leave beliefs outta it.

    1. Trust me the ones who are stoic and strong are the ones who cry the most behind closed doors…๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    2. @TX BattleJunk86 can you just stick to playing video games, the rest of us are tired of being embarrassed for people like you. Ignorance will not sheild you all this time.

  5. i don’t know how she is doing this interview, the whole situation is just brutal, tough to listen to

  6. He shouldn’t have been discharged. His condition was more serious than they thought. This will happen more and more.

    1. They still have open beds and are already sending people home to die. Coronavirus not profitable enough for them?
      Teachers are poor, so go home and die. Lawyers will be staying in the hospital.

    2. Luis Valez? I am a midwestern White guy. I know my father unlike a Valez rat ๐Ÿ€ would. Loser.

    3. @lina nicolia The virus (or even your own immune system) can damage your lungs and it escalates really fast. In EU they say If you have problem breathing or blood on the cough you re in the danger zone.

  7. I’m so sorry for your loss I lost my wife a few weeks ago of 17 years so I share your pain God bless you and your family๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

  8. My God. My heart is breaking. This thing is a monster! My sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜”
