A Texas gay couple passed within hours of each other after contracting the novel coronavirus COVID-19. Both men died in the hospital a few rooms away from each other.
Tony Brooks Tsai, a city-councilor in the San Antonio area, and Phillip Tsai Brooks, a hair salon owner, lived with Phillips mother. She is also infected and quarantined at home.
They traveled the world, they took my mom everywhere. To see them, to see one or the other leave, it wouldve been devastating for them, Phillips family told local news.
Phillip, who worked at the San Antonio Military Medical Center, was the first to seek treatment. He was given medication and sent home to quarantine, but had to be rushed to the hospital days later and was put on a ventilator.
Tony had also been sick, but didnt want to go to the emergency room. He was found unresponsive in their home by his mother-in-law and rushed to the hospital.

(5,417 posts)Yeah, right.
Today I saw a Maggot in a motorized chair in Walmart. He had an IMBECILE (Trump) 2020 hat on while WEARING A MASK!!
I was all set to engage him in his stupidity, as in "Why are you wearing a mask when your king said it's a hoax??"
But since this is Arizona, I thought the better of it. Didn't want to get shot. The asshole fucker will be dead soon enough anyway....
But those two beautiful gentlemen....hard to put into words. I would guess they were better citizens than a thousand of the assholes protesting the quarantine right now.
No, I KNOW they were better AMERICANS.
RIP guys...........RIP.
