Coronavirus reportedly kills California man who expressed regret over attending party: ‘It was just one moment'
Tommy Macias, 51, of Lake Elsinore, California, died of COVID-19 on June 21st.
“This is no joke. If you have to go out wear a mask and practice social distancing. Don’t be a (expletive) idiot like me," he wrote in a Facebook post before his death.
“Some of you know, but most don’t. I fucked up and went out a couple of weeks ago and I contracted the coronavirus,” he wrote on Facebook just days before his death, according to a screenshot obtained by local news station KTSM. “Monday I tested for it and it was confirmed on Thursday. Because of my stupidity, I put my mom and sisters and my family’s health in jeopardy. This has been a very painful experience.
“This is no joke," he continued. "'If you have to go out wear a mask and practice social distancing. Don’t be a fucking idiot like me. Thank you to all my friends that have brought me food, and to everyone who has been there for me. Hopefully, with God’s help, I’ll be able to survive this.”
The 51-year-old, who suffered from diabetes, passed away on June 21 after he was rushed to the hospital when he experienced difficulty breathing, according to NBC Los Angeles. He was intubated and put on a ventilator after arriving but succumbed to COVID-19 just a couple of hours later, his niece, Danielle Lopez, said.
RIP Tommy
