Given the long incubation period of the coronavirus, it can be difficult to determine which events are causing a massive spread of the community. Yet one family in Chicago in the area uses their fatal slip as a warning to others to be vigilant. Mike and Carol Bruno died ten days ago, except for the complications of the coronavirus, after sitting in their daughter’s house capsule a few days before Thanksgiving.
“We never thought it would happen to our family, and it did. This virus is really unforgiving and only attacks in cruel ways,” son Bruno told WECT.
The virus began spreading through the family to a capsule on November 20th. Bruno’s sister, who had tested negative for the virus a few days earlier, had his hair cut in her house and brought her mother along.
“My sister works in a salon, so just before Thanksgiving, my sister got a COVID test and was negative. She was quarantined for three or four days after taking the negative test. I needed a haircut, and she said, ‘Well, why do I not just come to me and cut your hair so you do not have to go into the salon?’ Bruno explained.
He further said that they have taken several precautions to prevent them from contracting the virus.
“I did not embrace my mother. I did not embrace my sister. My sister cut my hair. She was masked and all the windows were open. “We were far away in my apartment, and then they left,” Bruno said. ‘They were maybe 40 to 45 minutes left. Later that night, my sister started getting symptoms. About three days later, I started experiencing symptoms. ”
All in all, six members of the extended Bruno family came down with COVID-19. Mike and Carol passed away earlier this month. Joe blames himself for the deaths of his parents.
“If I had made the sacrifice and, you know, did not spend 30 to 40 minutes with my mother, they would still be here,” Bruno said.
