Florida: Florida Woman and Drinking Days

florida: One evening in early June, the young man went out against her wishes, gathered with friends and removed his mask while eating and drinking, according to CTV. Days later, he felt cold symptoms and a friend at the get-together told him she had tested positive for the new coronavirus. It's just not the time, the Florida woman says she told him, begging him to think about his dad, who is at a higher risk of severe COVID-19 illness because he is overweight and diabetic. By then, it already had taken hold in the young man's household. The illness's spread among members of the Plantation, Florida, family highlights the outcome dreaded by authorities who feared the recent surge of cases hitting younger Floridians would spread to older, more vulnerable people. The man's father, John Place, 42, is now fighting the virus at a hospital's intensive care unit. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
