Recently, 15-year-old Jorja Halliday tested positive for covid-19. The English girl from Portsmouth, according to her mother Tracey, had not had any underlying diseases, but had developed flu-like symptoms.
Therefore, Halliday took a PCR test, which turned out to be positive.
The Guardian writes that the 15-year-old had problems eating, the day after the positive test, and that the condition worsened.
Hospitalized
Halliday was put on a course of antibiotics, but when the doctors discovered that her heart rate had doubled, she was hospitalized.
– They realized how serious it was, and I was still allowed to touch her, hold her hand, hug her and everything. I’m still at the stage where I can not understand what happened, says mother Tracey Halliday, according to The Guardian.

But after Halliday was hospitalized and later put on a respirator, the tragedy happened. The 15-year-old died in hospital shortly after she became infected.
– I was with her all the time. They tried to put her on a respirator to give her body a chance to get better, but her heart rate would not stabilize. Her heart could not stand the strain, says her mother.
The deceased 15-year-old should actually have taken the corona vaccine before she became infected, but when she ended up in isolation, the class was postponed – a class she was never given the opportunity to take.
The mother warns
Figures show that 137,000 deaths associated with the coronavirus have been reported in the UK. Of these, very few are among young people.
The mother of the late Halliday is now warning young people to take the virus lightly, although statistics show that it rarely affects them.
– Some children are a little unaware of it. They say “it’s not going to happen to me, it’s going to go well”. I just want people to know that it can happen to anyone and at any time. Even if you are young and healthy, your mother warns you Sky News.
The mother tells the same website that her daughter died myokarditt – an inflammation of the heart muscle.
– One of the employees at the hospital told me that they could see that several teenagers of the same age got symptoms that caused inflammation in the body.
– In Jorja’s case, it developed into inflammation of the heart, which is why her heart could not tolerate the respirator, she continues.
