39 years old and now 1 of 620,000 Americans to lose their life to Covid-19

How heartbreaking.

39 years old is way too young to be taken from a family. I've been following Drake Troutman and he is exceptionally talented for a 16 year old wheeling mods and now late models. Drake has the makings of a very good future as a racer and now his father won't be there to share in the experiences. This is so very sad.

God bless and keep the Troutman family.

They're not. Listen to the medical community not the talking heads or social media.

SAN ANTONIO (WOAI) — A San Antonio family is devastated after their loved one lost her battle with COVID-19 — even though she was fully vaccinated.

No vaccine in the history of mankind has ever been 100% but I'll take the 94% protection of the Pfizer vaccine that I received over 0% of being unvaccinated.

I live in Florida and last week we set all new records for Covid cases

151,415 new positive cases (97.6% unvaccinated people)
98.2% of hospitalizations were of unvaccinated people.
268 Covid-19 deaths last week and all 100% were of unvaccinated people.

Only 50% of eligible Floridians are vaccinated.

I've personally run out of patience with the unvaccinated population and all of the excuses they have as to why that won't get vaccinated.

I have no issue in saying that the covid shot seems to help. Just be fair in saying it's not eliminating the problem.

Looking at the stands in Florence at the North South I didnt see a single mask in the stands with folks packed on top of each other. I doubt they are all vaccinated.

Thoughts and prayers for something that was 99.9% avoidable. I would love to know what DJ's reason for not getting vaccinated was but unfortunately we can't ask as it's to late.

You dont know it was 99.9% avoidable and you sound like a total jerk for posting that.

My wife who is a RN has worked in the Covid-19 wing of Tampa General for the past 14 months, specifically the ICU for the last 6 months. She has seen so much avoidable pain, suffering and death. We've have no more patience, sympathy or empathy for the unvaccinated. The fact that we have states with vaccination rates of barely 40% of eligible residents is mind boggling. What are the other 60% waiting for? I guess 620,000 Americans dead from Covid-19 isn't enough for some people.

Makes sense now. Your wife is a nurse so now you think you know it all. Fact is alot have had the virus and recovered. Fact is some have died as a result of the getting the vaccine. Fact is some are not advised to get the shot based on their health situation. Fact is over 900,000 Americans have died from heart disease and 900,000 from cancer during the same time period as covid and those deaths are as sad.
