A Detroit ER nurse has become one of the first Michigan health care workers known to have died from the coronavirus.
Lisa Ewald died alone at her home in Dearborn — the cause of death COVID-19, according to reports. She was last heard from Tuesday. A friend found her body the next day. She would have turned 54 on Saturday.
“You always think that it can’t affect you to a degree. So this is making it real for me,” niece Carly Ewald told Fox 2 Detroit Saturday.
Lisa Ewald was working on the frontlines, since the coronavirus hit Michigan and patients began flooding the emergency room at Henry Ford Hospital, where she worked, according to the station.

And this is the problem with "go home and quarantine" because it comes as a brush off from the medical community and then people do not seek help until they are totally incapacitated, because they do not know how to judge that they are so ill they need help.
God bless us all...
I heard this morning that she refused to be tested. If that is true then how many people did she infect.
Always with the tear-jerker stories. Everybody who dies has a story.
So sad, God-bless her family and friends.
