Corona Virus: A Birthday Celebration in Brazil Spreads Corona in a 'Family'
A concert that started as a celebration in the family but ended in a tragedy.
A birthday party in Brazil is suspected to have spread the Corona virus to several members of the same family.
Two weeks after attending the ceremony, three siblings were killed and 10 others became ill. Authorities have confirmed that at least one was killed by the Corona virus.
Party Plan
The party was held March 13 in Ataparica da Sierra, in the area of Sao Paulo. According to Ministry of Health data that day, there were a total of 98 confirmed cases in Brazil and no virus was confirmed in the country till date.
60 cases were confirmed in Sao Paulo, and it is one of the richest cities in the world. It has a population of more than 20 million people.
Just three weeks later, on April 8, the number of Corona virus cases in Brazil has exceeded 16,000, killing 800 people.
Vera Lucia Pereira knew about the disease and was planning to cancel her 59th birthday.
He told : 'We had doubts, but we decided to party. There were not many cases in the country at that time. '
There was a time when lockdown occurred in Brazil.
28 people attended the event
Vera Lucia's party was in the backyard of her house, attended by 28 members of the family.
The guests included her husband Paolo Vieira's siblings.
Paolo, his brother Clovis and sister Maria were having fun but did not know they would die.
The guests included Vera Lucia's sisters, nieces and nephews themselves.
A few days after the party, about half of the guests began to show signs of corona, including cough, fever and shortness of breath. All of these symptoms are related to code 19.
Most had mild symptoms that did not require medical attention.
Acute illness
But Vera Lucia's husband and her two siblings died in the first week of April.
The cause of one of Maria's deaths is confirmed to be from Cody 19.
"We now believe that it was the virus that led to the death of our mother," her daughter told Bucky.
"This shows how severe the disease is. Even my mother could go to the hospital, there were ventilators but she could not save them. '
Maria was a diabetic and within a week her health had deteriorated rapidly.
His family awaits reports of Paolo and Klaus.
Vera Lucia says 'doctors say they are 99% sure that both of them had Cody 19'.
The son survived
Though both of them and their son showed symptoms, they both recovered.
He said, 'I am physically fine, coughing a little but it was a very difficult period. We spent many days in terror. '
uncertainity
At first, people in the family didn't believe they could be infected with the corona virus. "There were very few cases in Brazil at the time, so we thought we couldn't be affected," said one of the survivors.
He said that everyone who came to the party was seemingly healthy, so it was difficult to guess who brought the virus there first.
"But now, knowing this will not change anything."
The brother whose nature deteriorated after Maria's death was Clovis, 62.
Clovis 'son, Arthur, said:' Three days after the party, my father began to cough a lot.
“They got headaches and fever. They lost their ability to smell and taste. '
Like her sister, Klaus had no prior illness. But their nature was deteriorating.
Arthur took his father to the hospital March 23, but authorities sent him back home.
"Doctors didn't even think it could be a corona virus."
Extreme care
Shortly afterwards, Vera Lucia's husband was taken to the hospital. They were considered healthy in all of them. He used to exercise daily and often used to go mountain climbing and cycling.
When Paulo was brought to the hospital, his health was declared good, he only complained of shortness of breath.
" brothers Clovis and Paolo lived close to each other for the rest of their lives.
Both were declared suspected coronary virus patients and were on beds near each other in the intensive care unit.
The ban on the last rites
On the morning of April 1, Maria suffered a heart attack and could not recover. The next day Clovis died and Paolo died on the night of April 3.
two days later they had to be transferred to intensive care," says Vera Lucia.
Maria and Paolo were buried in cell coffins as authorities in Brazil directed coroners suspected or certified.
However, Clovis was burned to his last wish. The last rites of the three were performed separately on different days.
The rituals were based on minutes and were not attended by more than 10 people according to instructions.
Quarantine
The survivors of the March 13 party are still in isolation.
All those who have had medical problems are now recovering but all of them have carefully decided to quarantine themselves.
They are telling people to avoid this epidemic and stay home while taking responsibility.
Rafila, who lost her mother Maria, says: 'This is devastating. It's a horrible and cruel virus. "
"Bolsonaro has said a lot of stupid things"
Brazilian President Javier Bolsonaro made a controversial statement mocking the social distance and called it "common flu", questioning the seriousness of the outbreak.
Vera Lucia said she was surprised at the president's response.
“Bolsonaro talks a lot of stupid things. "They are in a responsible place. They should be aware of their responsibilities."
The biggest challenge now for Vera Lucia is to live without her husband.
"Despite all the things we have to continue living, we do not want any other family to go through the situation we went through."
