The United States is nearly 160,000 COVID-19-related drug-related deaths, with approximately 1,000 Americans dying each day. Each dark level is accompanied by heartbreaking stories of others across the country who have lost their loved ones enjoyed in this pandemic.
Widow Stacey Nagy is catching major media attention because of an obituary she published with her local paper, the Jefferson Jimplecute, following her husband’s death on July 22. Nagy’s husband David, 79, died from COVID-19 in the ICU at Christus Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, Texas. In the obituary, she blames Republican leaders, specifically Donald Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott, for her husband’s death and the needless loss of so many others.
“David’s death is unnecessary,” Nagy wrote in the obituary, which he then posted on Facebook. “The duty of his death and the death of all the other innocents rests with Trump, Abbott and all the other politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more involved in their popularity and votes than in their lives.”
Trump recently criticized for saying that the number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States “is what it is.”
Nagy criticized the members of the network for “the many other ignorant, self-centered and self-centered people who refused to stick to the recommendation of fitness professionals, believing that their “right “not to wear a mask is more vital than killing other innocent people.”
After publishing the obituary, Nagy told Snopes she was glad her story has gathered so much attention. “It gets me so angry that people aren’t taking this seriously,” Nagy told the fact-checking site. “It’s almost like they’re saying, ‘Who cares about the older people?’ I’ve been with my husband for 20 years and all of a sudden he’s gone. People should know how this makes others feel.”
He also criticized the politicization of coronavirus. “It’s political,” she says. “It’s life and death.”
Abbott, one of the first governors to reopen a state. Texas now has 8,000 COVID-19 deaths, after an increase forced Abbott to suspend reopening and put in place a statewide mask requirement.
To get an idea of how some state governments and the Trump administration have treated this virus, we can turn to Japan, a democracy with about a third of the U.S. population and a higher density. You can have about 50, 000 dead, plus, right? Well, they slightly exceeded 1000. That’s one-eighth of the deaths in Texas.
Unfortunately, the story of Stacy and David Nagy joins a list of families devastated by this crisis, along with others like this COVID-19 denier in Texas or Hermain Cain’s family circle.
Like many of those who lost, they enjoyed this pandemic, Nagy may not be with her husband at the time of his death. She told Snopes that the last time she saw him was through a glass barrier and that he was unconscious.
“I miss my husband so much,” she says. “I take one day at a time to verify that it continues. When I wrote this, it was because of him. I don’t need his death to die. I wrote that down and, in part, it helps keep it alive for me. “.
