A man from Illinois shot and killed his girlfriend, and then himself, fearing that they may both be positive for COVID-19.

Authorities found the body of Patrick Jesernik, 54, and Cheryl Schriefer, 59, in separate rooms of their house Thursday (April 2) evening. The police also found a loaded revolver with two empty shells near Jesernik's body.

Hard to know if COVID-19 really had something to do with this. Article makes no mention if economic stress of a job loss was involved, but I would not be surprised to later find out this was a factor. The article did mention that the police are making more "crisis intervention" calls in general.

Whether they were infected or not, you can count on the fact they will be considered coronavirus deaths by the media and authorities.

Trump’s fault for giving hope, or media’s fault for scaring the crap out of everyone? Hmmm.

Any conclusion could be assumed until there’s an investigation. Two people are dead regardless.

Good question, but the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

The reporter is a moron and doesn’t know jack about guns.

Illinois man who killed wife and then himself feared both had COVID-19, police say

Denying these people the HCQ regimen killed them.

Their governor and the national Media have the blood of these two on their hands.

If they could have gone and gotten 30 bucks worth of the HCQ treatment, they'd still be alive.

Their governor Pritzker, colluding with the national Media, put this out of their reach.

Murder most foul.

it is the economic shutdown that will be result in an increase in suicides-
with each 1% increase in unemployment is estimated to be a low of 4,000 to 40,000. With a projected unemployment rate of 30% , the annual deaths from suicide would range from 120,000 as a low to 1,200,000 and may exceed that of deaths from COVID-19.

Sometimes an event like this is used as an excuse that has been in the making for quite some time

The empty shells were still in the revolver. The revolver with live rounds and the empties were found next to the man’s body.
