First denied testing, twice denied hospital admission, Marshalltown man dies of COVID-19

If life were fair, Kyle Brown and Pamela Dennen deserved more time together.

The Marshalltown couple had spent years overcoming personal obstacles and the physical distance between them, Dennen told the Des Moines Register. They celebrated three years of marriage in February.

About two months later, in mid-April, Brown worked his final shift as a maintenance technician at TPI Composites in Newton. Brown, 54, died 12 days later, on April 29, at a Des Moines hospital from COVID-19 complications.

During those 12 days, Brown and Dennen made five trips to healthcare providers, Dennen said. It took two visits to secure a test for the novel coronavirus.

2. Numbers!

I hate it when doctors go by numbers alone. They can be misleading or meaningless, and the best of them don't rely on pure numbers: other factors that can only be determined by close examination are just as important as the numbers that are spit out. In COVID-19, apparently, the virus strikes very differently in different people.

What a shame.
