Dear MEL Topic Readers,

A California couple died of Covid-19 weeks apart, orphaning 5 young children including a newborn

A 37-year-old labor and delivery nurse in California was a mother of four and was to have her fifth in a few months when she contracted the coronavirus and was hospitalized. Her husband, a middle school math teacher, also contracted and was treated in the same hospital as hers. Since she had been intubated, doctors conducted a cesarean delivery. The baby came out OK but the mom passed away before seeing her baby girl. The father was only shown the photo of the newborn baby before he also passed away from complications of the virus. It was less than two weeks later of the mother’s death. The baby girl was left with no parent or name. Fortunately, the family has been living with the husband’s mother, a retired kindergarten teacher. Now, the five children ranging from three weeks to eight years old are taken care of by their grandmother. The couple, a nurse and a teacher, had been very careful not to get infected but they hadn’t been vaccinated. They most likely contracted the coronavirus in an indoor water park at the end of the summer vacation. As the grandmother says, Covid doesn’t discriminate,
