'The feeling that I have is kind of like a drunk driver would have if they killed their family.' Tony Green thought coronavirus was a hoax until he held a small gathering from which several family members eventually got sick.
Green told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday that he sees himself as example to others. "We have to be the example to, I guess, bring awareness ," he said. After all six people -- Green, his partner and their parents -- at the weekend event got sick, eight more people in their families tested positive, bringing the total to 14. Green, who lives in Texas, ended up in the hospital and doctors saved him from a having a stroke, he said. He was better in a few days.
"The feeling that I have is kind of like what, I would say, a drunk driver would have if they killed their family," Green said."It was unintentional. This was my home. This is where it happened. So, you know there is a sense of responsibility.
