A 18-year-old girl named Sashaa from Argentina lost almost all her family members within 20days due to Covid-19. A video that she uploaded in social media to share her story and with an intention to raise awareness on the deadly virus is widely circulated, reported by China Press.
The video that she uploaded on Oct 6, was recorded by Sashaa and her brother. Sashaa said in tears that can’t believe she lost 4 family members just within 20 days. She lost her grandmother on Sep 4, her mother on Sep 14, her uncle on Sep 22 and her father on Sep 24.
She added they all died due to Covid-19, each of them came with scary symptoms and underwent great pain before dying.
In the footage, Sashaa said,” My dad is with symptoms like asthma and breathing difficulty. While my mum is suffering from hepatic fibrosis. They are living on ventilator. My mum was in coma till her last breath. She didn’t even have a chance to look at us before her passing.”
” My dad lost all his hair, he looks skinny and pale. I never ever thought the deadly virus took the life of all my loves one.”
Sashaa thought her family is been abandoned by the country and she is so helpless. ” A lot of people in our country were infected Covid-19, however they don’t received treatment that they supposed to get. Why is this happening to us?”
“In the hospital, we have been informed that they do not want to spend time on us. A lot of poor people are dying because of Covid-19. While those are rich will get the antibiotic and the best treatment”
She also urged everyone in the end of the video to understand more about the virus, so tragedy won’t happened in their country too. ” The foolish act including going shopping or bar, demonstration will increase the spread of the virus. Even one is infected maybe it won’t caused fatality but what about the people who take care of the infected person. They might be infected and died. Please think of others before your decision what to do next.”
