The tragic 20-year-old soccer coach who is one of the youngest known coronavirus victims had been sent home twice while seeking help — told by his doctor that there was “no need to worry,” according to his family.
Spanish youth coach Francisco Garcia — who would have turned 21 in October — initially thought he had a common cold when he fell ill on March 6, his stepfather, Juan Fernandez, told the Sun.
“He had a sore throat but he didn’t have a temperature,” Fernandez said, with his stepson seeing his doctor in Malaga three days later.

Sounds like the UK’s NIH.
Is this the one who had Leukemia?
Um, well - it does make quite a difference if one has undiagnosed leukemia.
This headline made the rounds a couple days ago.
If it is he needed a new Dr long ago
Key element missing from headline: “A day later, blood work showed he also had leukemia”
Dunno, but he certainly needed a better barber: https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/francisco-garcia-66.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1236&h=820&crop=1
Didn’t he find out he had leukemia when he went to the docs for treatment?
Boy the NY Post really sucks right now. The kid had undiagnosed cancer. He did not die of COVID-19.
With all the needless, embarrassing panic and criminal economic ruin being rained down on us right now, I’d say we’re ALL “victims” of COVID-19.
What a pantload that article was!
Spain not mentioned in the article. It is mentioned in the article’s “keywords”
Sort of reminds me of the old Woody Allen joke.
Woody had a pain in his chest, and was worried, but didn’t want to pay to go to the doctor.
Then he found out that his friend had the exact same pain in his chest.
Woody encourages his friend to go to the doctor.
The friend goes has lots of tests, pays out a lot of money and finds out that it’s nothing.
Woody is thrilled, He’s got no medical worries now, and he saved a lot of money.
He calls his friend the next day and the friend’s wife says that the friend is dead.
Woody is devastated, and worried about his own future.
“Did he suffer much?” he asks.
“Oh, no. It was quick. The truck hit him and that was that.”
A day later, blood work showed he also had leukemia,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Leukemia? That’s definitely a major reason he didn’t pull through.
We don’t know what stage it was.
Poor kid.
“A day later, blood work showed he also had leukemia, his family said. He finally died Sunday, less than a week after he first sought help.”
