Michigan state lawmaker dies of suspected coronavirus infection BY JOHN BOWDEN - 03/29/20 10:24 PM EDT
Michigan state Rep. Isaac Robinson (D) died on Sunday due to a suspected coronavirus infection, according to his family.
His mother, former state Rep. Rose Mary Robinson (D), confirmed Robinson's death in a statement to 7 Action News, a local ABC affiliate.
"I called EMS, they took him to Receiving at 6 a.m. and he was dead by 11," she added to local news affiliate Crain's Detroit Business.
Robinson, 44, was unmarried and previously served as a political director for the Teamsters Union, according to Crain's.
"Rep. Isaac Robinson had a huge heart, a quick wit, and a genuine passion for the people. I am very sad to hear of his passing. He was a fierce advocate for Detroiters and people across Southeast Michigan," Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) tweeted on Sunday.
"He dedicated his career to ensuring justice and security for those he served, and the impact he had on his community will continue to be felt for years to come. Rep. Robinson will be missed by many, including me. It was an honor to serve the people of Michigan alongside him," she added. The coronavirus outbreak, which has sickened more than 130,000 nationwide, has killed more than 130 people in the state of Michigan. The disease often presents as a form of pneumonia, which can be deadly.
Much too young. This thing scares the hell out of you.
Any underlying complications?
Did he wait too long or did the virus evolve in his body so quickly that he had not time to act.
Not sure but from his photos he looks like a big guy.
Obese and probably diabetic.
Was he a gay caballero?
I don’t know! But those two conditions got Joe Diffie!
A large man. That’s enough to get you killed by the virus. Don’t really care about his sex life.
Huge guy!
R.I.P. He might have had additional health problems but for someone relatively young to die in a few hours - this isn’t an ordinary flu.
Obesity inherently taxes the heart and lungs among other things. You need a lot of oxygen to keep a large mass alive and the immune system working.
He should have got Hydroxy Cloromine. Or silver ! Kill the viruses!! Kill
Them dead !!!
"COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death." (The bolding is theirs, not mine).
Well, at least he was a Democrat.
That means his vote will count for at 100 in the next election.
After it gets established in enough hosts, it’s a fast moving disease. Then it goes faster.

RIP.
The Associated Press reports his mother, former Rep. Rose Mary C. Robinson, said her son died hours after being transported to the hospital for breathing problems and the family suspected he suffered from COVID-19, but he had not been tested for the virus that causes the disease. A cause of death was not immediately released.
He was not tested, so he may not have had it.
Reported where on the death certificate, though, immediate or underlying? Does the CDC state?
And if presumed positives are being included on the death certificate, that’s really going to jack the stats.
