So a young person with a deadly disease picks up another disease that wollops already sick and/or elderly.

He’s in the high risk demo, he just didn’t know about the cancer.

I feel like the leukemia maybe played a role here, but of course that doesn’t make for as good a headline.

Revised title would have said: Soccer Coach Francisco Garcia Dies From Battling Leukemia and Coronavirus.

Doubtful a normal healthy 21 year old would die from just Coronavirus.

Murdered because Trump didn’t do something. Or something. Think I’m kidding? The demodrones or some assclown in the lame stream will make that insinuation.

The media who started this hysteria conveniently forget to report the underlying medical conditions of the people who’ve succumbed to this virus.

If I was going to state they cause of death, it wouldn’t be because of this virus.
