Despite stay at home orders across the U.S., people are out in public and the family of Jason Hargrove, who died of COVID-19 complications, said he"did not deserve this."precautions seriously died of the virus, and now his family has extended his battle cry.
"I promise you, you do not want to be the person sitting right here right now trying to make funeral arrangements for your loved," Desha Johnson-Hargrove told ABC News in an exclusive interview after her husband Jason Hargrove died from COVID-19."Please, people, I'm begging you. I am begging you. Do not let my husband's death be in vain."Jason Hargrove is seen in a screen grab from a video he posted on his Facebook page.
Hargrove, a former employee of the Detroit Department of Transportation, warned his followers on Facebook about those dangers just days before he contracted the virus that later killed him."It was about eight or nine people on the bus and she stood there and coughed and never covered up her mouth," Hargrove said in the eight-minute video explaining his anger and frustration over a passenger's behavior.
While there is no definitive answer as to how the father of six contracted the virus, his wife wondered if that passenger's alleged cough put her husband at greater risk. "When he came home, he was so distressed, he got out of the clothes -- it bothered him so bad," she recalled."He talked about it. He just kept saying, 'Baby, I'm so mad.' And I just kept trying to calm him down. And I'm just like, 'It's going to be O.K.'"
LeilaniMunter So very sorry, this is just heartbreaking 💔
HumptyD49831913 Please tell me what I’ve read about the woman intentionally coughing in him isn’t true. Gracious this is tragic enough on its own much less that added detail.
It's very sad I hope someone will listen and take it seriously
😢🙏🏻
TomGarfinkel This is one of the saddest videos I’ve seen so far. He was pleading for people to take this seriously, and just two weeks later he dies from it. Jesus. I feel so much for all of these families and people dying. This is crazy.
I am so so sorry for your loss.
