Thomas Macias, 51, went to a barbecue last month near his community in Lake Elsinore, about 70 miles from Los Angeles. Shortly after the party, he started feeling sick. On June 20, he posted a poignant message on Facebook to warn his loved ones about the risks of the virus, his family said. "I went out a couple of weeks ago ... because of my stupidity I put my mom and sisters and my family's health in jeopardy," he wrote."This has been a very painful experience.
"Everywhere he went he made friends instantly," Lopez said."He was missing his friends and missing his family. So as soon as they lifted some of the restrictions he felt free and he unfortunately went to this get-together to be with his friends and then this was the result.
Hopefully his words save others from the same fate. WearAMaskSaveALife
Being overweight was his problem
Are we back to caring about COVID this week? ‘K Thanks.
The dude wasnt taking care of his body for a long time.
You (cnn) should hire him......fits your intellect requirements
How about being stupid visiting protest parties?😂
Well when you're stupid bad things happen
Regret!....it always comes after....
100time we see it, the isis propaganda from the terrorist media. this man died from the flu, like 500000 and this one is special folks, this one is important and we will use his death to make our propaganda. Sick dirty media.
The strength of a movement, backed by a virus is real force!
Tough chits Karen
Well the important thing is that I hear the party was lit.
1 person what about the other 8 billion smh 8 billion
It is well
That's comforting to friends and family I'm sure. . How many more stupidsare there. Faucci needs to call an idiot and damned idiot. How stupid can you US people be FFS.
One bullshit story after another meant to distort the truth
LIVE, LEARN, DIE. I know it sounds cold, but Im FUCKING exhausted by the MORONIC, SELFISH behavior during this pandemic. 🤷♀️
A party or a protest.
So instead of covering the gun violence in Chicago, where 2 more kids and multiple other people were murdered last night, you decide it’s important to run this story for the 4th day in a row.......Kudos to you cnn
i understand that people have to go out to work& have to leave the house for essential shopping/doc appts etc. some such careful people will still get covid19 which is so unfair. however, people like this man who tempt fate & party during a global pandemic are asking for it
No one thinks it will happen to them until it does
Fickle thing, regret. Always late too
CNN pushing panic mode, you need to bring Russian Collusion back.
No he didn't What's his name? Which hospital? So we dont end up.going to the same hospital
voteblue
This is a sad story that will probably be repeated all over the country, particularly int he red states who politicized mask wearing. I know they did, because I saw them do it, I'm in one.
Canada Free face & masks ！！！
Oops
And how much blood is on CNN’s hands for telling people hydroxychloroquine was going to kill them and didn’t work. FCC NEEDS TO SHUT YOUR LYING STATION DOWN
What you neglect to mention was his obesity was a factor in his death but you guys don't want to discuss facts because it might be considered body shaming
How many people died because CNN lied about the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine to undermine President realDonaldTrump ? CNN should be held legally responsible!
This should be a wake-up call to all the morons who are following Dumbo Trump.
This is an idiot that figured I would kill my family as well as myself. Other idiots like this have the guts to crawl in a hole and die alone. It is a crime to intantionally indanger others. I would hope if this guy lived he would be in jail for endangerment
More fear porn?
Rip
He was simply doing what he saw the leadership do; following the example. What is so hard about wearing a mask to protect your family, neighbors, friends, and coworkers. I forgot, most people aren’t working so we can take coworkers off the list.
Natures way of weeding out the dumbest of the dumbest 👍
My mans is obese.
If he got it from a protest you'd never have run this story.
Thank you POTUS
a GENTLE AND POIGNANT MEMORIAM. The power of gentle remorse.
So sad life can be
My strategy was to get the virus, kick it's ass, and move on with my life. It's like a bad flu. I was down hard for 2 days. Now I don't need a mask. Now while youre all bitching about masks and living in fear, Im free. I can do what I want whenever I want. See ya next year.
😔
I hope the family of the deceased retains legal counsel and sues 'southern California man' for wrongful death.
Womp womp.
Being overweight didn't help either
So, you didn’t include the date of the party, and there’s no evidence that proves he caught it at the party. Another example of CNN’s responsible journalism.
I know so much people like him... an entire city....so i expect so much lucky for them
Nice fear mongering CNN! Journalism, not so much.
Good, one less twat
The sad part is that many will say and defy the rules of wearing a mask, simply because they are russian trolls.
Condolences to the family but this guy is obviously obese and a diabetic. Two of the biggest warning signs of vulnerability. He should have been at home and not at a party. Now don't apply one persons poor judgment to try to shame healthy people into staying home.
“Hopefully with God's help, I'll be able to survive this.'”
Now do cigarette smokers
More fear porn? Reefer Madness was less hyperbolic!!!!
Hope this is a lesson to people not social distancing can have dire consequences..
Fake news
loves these stories, but you will not hear one store about the 19 year old killed in the “CHOP” zone, or the 3 month old black child killed in Chicago the other night....
This is where I’m supposed to say thoughts and prayers
Typical human thinking
Trash organization
Now report on the families of the children killed in CHOP
it's necessary to have a test and keep enough distance from strangers
Thank God u know
