Coronavirus: Child Died Due To COVID-19

2020-11-07

At the time when the number of new Coronavirus pneumonia cases in the United States surged, Tagan White, a 5-year-old girl in Texas, was also unfortunately diagnosed. However, she was told by the doctor that she “will get better” when she was infected, and she could leave the hospital and go home to recover on her own. However, within 24 hours of returning home, Tagan died of illness.

According to the British “Mirror” report, the 5-year-old Tagan began to experience drowsiness on October 27 and then began to vomit. After her parents sent her to the hospital on the 29th, Tagan was diagnosed with new Coronavirus pneumonia. Since Thagen did not have some common symptoms, such as fever and cough, her parents were surprised that her test result was positive. However, the doctor said that Tagan could be discharged, claiming that “the new Coronavirus will not affect children” and “will heal on its own.” On the night of leaving the hospital, the little girl became weaker and weaker. Her mother Lastacia woke up at 3 am the next morning and found that her daughter was unresponsive and no breathing. She was sent to the hospital and died due to ineffective rescue.

Lastacia expressed his distress on social media. She said that after losing her daughter, she couldn’t sleep at night and she didn’t know how to continue her life. The child’s father, Quincy, also questioned the doctor’s judgment, saying “Maybe they shouldn’t let Tagan out of the hospital. They made mistakes, too many mistakes cost a 5-year-old child his life.” The memorial ceremony for Tagan held at 11 am on the 7th.

Do not trust the saying of “Child is safe during the pandemic, and Coronavirus will not infect child”. Just take care of all your children and the children around you, protect them carefully with wearing-mask, washing-hand and something else.
