A week ago, 16-year-old Julie came down with a slight cough. On Wednesday, she became France's youngest COVID-19 fatality, shaking a nation hit by a spiralling health crisis.
"She just had a cough" that anyone might get as winter winds down, Julie's mother said. Initially, they treated it with cough syrup and steam inhalation treatments. The responders gave Julie a face mask to wear under an oxygen mask, and brought her to the nearest hospital, at Longjumeau in the Essonne department south of Paris.
By Tuesday, she was admitted to intensive care, and when Sabine visited, she found her daughter anxious, able to talk but exhausted, and complaining that"my heart hurts.""The door to her room opens, the nurses come in without wearing protective gowns, and the doctor gives me a thumbs-up sign telling me that everything is fine," Sabine said.
China's doctors have been saying the virus can also affect the heart and other organs (beyond the lungs). If that's so... I'm no doctor, but one might think as soon as the virus gets to the heart easily fatal. (The lung can take a beating, but the heart is smaller & electrical.)
