Thanks guys. It turns out it was COVID-19 that killed her in the end, they originally thought she had a chest infection.
That really sucks. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Let me summarize my thoughts on the situation too.
At first, I was skeptical about this whole COVID-19 thing and I thought it was just bullshit made up by someone just for attention, but seeing how serious it is, my claims are definitely untrue.
I’m especially tired of smartasses who don’t wear masks (or do wear them but don’t cover their noses) or practice hygiene habits. They’re basically
asking for it!
Sure, you may think you’re the king of the world by not respecting rules, but it
will backfire.
I’m also sick of people who decline to get a nasopharyngeal swab sample taken, thinking they’ll get a so-called “chip” in their nose.
Bullshit! It’s just a sterile nylon swab, there’s
nothing else.
Nothing new gets into your body at all.
The swab is just used to take a sample from your nasopharynx (or maybe even the throat in case of a PCR test, at least that’s what they do here in Slovakia as far as I know). It just gets shoved in so far because that’s the best area for the virus to hide in.
Sure, it’s pretty uncomfortable, but I’ve had it done twice already without any major discomfort at all. It’s not
that bad! Learn to deal with it, folks. If you can get a needle into your vein, you should be able to stand a swab in the back of your nose.
I’m not surprised some of the idiots with positive tests who refuse to follow rules set by the government are in quarantine.
The pandemic would’ve been long over if people weren’t—I apologize for the language—dicks!
