Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan's brother dies of COVID-19
Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagans brother has died after contracting COVID-19.
The lieutenant governor said her brother Ron, who lived in Tennessee, was diagnosed with cancer several weeks ago and his immune system was compromised when he got the coronavirus.
To many, hell be a statistic: Tennessees second COVID-related death. But to me, Ill remember a loving, older brother, uncle, father, and husband, Flanagan wrote in an Instagram post Sunday.
She urged people to stay home to protect people like her brother.
If you feel fine, thats great. But please consider the possibility that youre carrying the virus and dont know it, and then you walk past the next Ron, my big brother, in public, she wrote. COVID-19 now has a personal connection to me. Please do all you can to prevent one for you.
