COVID TRAGEDY: Alabama Man Dies After Being Turned Away From 43 Hospitals

He had trouble finding a hospital with an open bed to treat his heart condition.

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

The effects of COVID are wide-ranging and shouldn't be taken lightly.

RIP Ray DeMonia.

Statistics prove that those who are vaccinated are less likely to end up in the hospital if they catch COVID.

In some areas where COVID is surging, the virus is effecting even those who aren't sick from it. An Alabama man suffering from heart issues tried to get admitted to more than 40 hospitals across three states, but was unable to find a place the ICU due to an overflow of COVID patients.

As a result, Ray Martin DeMonia died on September 1st, just three days before his 74th birthday. He had a heart attack the nearest available hospital bed was more than 200 miles away at a hospital in Meridian, Mississippi.

Now his family is pleading with those who haven't already to get their vaccinations. His obituary reads, "In honor of Ray, please get vaccinated if you have not, in an effort to free up resources for non-COVID-related emergencies." (NewsNation Now)
