Unvaccinated Chicago Couple Dies From COVID-19 Weeks Before Their Wedding

The Angels – Relatives of an unvaccinated Hispanic couple from Chicago who died of COVID-19 weeks before their scheduled wedding presented the case to encourage Latinos to get vaccinated against the disease.

Luis Suarez and Norma Franco They had been together for years and had decided to get married on November 26, after Thanksgiving, but the plans were interrupted by COVID-19, he told local media Angel Santos, son of Suárez.

Santos said that Suárez and Franco were not vaccinated when they contracted the disease. Although the couple planned to be vaccinated to be able to meet with the family at their wedding, the delay in vaccination cost them their lives, he valued.

“People are worried about the side effects, but the side effects of losing a family member are terrible, and that’s what happens if you don’t get vaccinated.”Santos told the channel ABC 7 de Chicago when talking about the case.

Suárez and Franco were admitted to the same hospital, but because they were not married, they were in separate rooms and were not allowed to communicate with each other.the family noted.

Members of the couple died within a week of each other in late October.

Coronavirus cases are on the rise again in the United States. Some Midwest hospitals have a large influx of patients, and some experts fear it is the beginning of a nationwide surge, just as Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve celebrations roll in.
