An esteemed New York doctor who delayed his retirement to help lead his hospitals response to the coronavirus pandemic has died after contracting the novel virus he worked so tirelessly to treat, according to multiple reports.
Dr. James Mahoney, 62, worked as a pulmonary and critical care physician at University Hospital of Brooklyn during the day and Kings County Hospital Center at night. He died on April 27 after a battle with COVID-19.
Shortly before the pandemic began, Mahoney had planned to scale back his hours in preparation for an eventual retirement, the Guardian reported.

But in reality they can both be deadly. In fact this corona virus has been about as deadly as a mild flu season. Lockdowns were the wrong course of action to take as a remedy. The results may end up being just a s deadly too.

He had a
Big Heart.
Yikes! I wonder if he had any kind of preexisting condition or particular vulnerability.
The Doc’s, Nurses and asst personnel are taking it . that’s why lupus and ra patients are blaming T for the shortage. there is stupid and beyond..

Should have been taking the 3 drug cocktail. One would think a doctor would know better.
Interesting history. Thanks for sharing!
Many years ago, it wasnt uncommon for me to work for days without sleep. I eventually made it a point to get daily rest once I learned the heart pays a price otherwise.
Agreed. For me, the increasing difficulty of shoveling the snow is an unwelcome reminder of getting older.
RIP
