As per Appleby, the patient got critically ill and had a heartbreaking statement just before death. "Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said 'I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it's not,'" Appleby added.
The CMO made the case public as the rise in cases for the Bexar County continues. She wants all the people especially those who are young to realize that they are not invincible. Appleby further added. "I don't want to be an alarmist and we're just trying to share some real-world examples to help our community realize that this virus is very serious and can spread easily."
Moreover, the positivity rate has jumped to 22 percent. "This is a concerning increase from a positive rate of about five percent only several weeks ago," Dr. Appleby mentioned.
