Man Who Dismissed COVID-19 Tells Of His Guilt After 14 Family Members Got Sick
Tony Green said he hosted a small at-home gathering the weekend of June 12 for himself and five members of his family, thinking that the worst of the pandemic was over. He said that nobody he knew had contracted the coronavirus and he felt it was time to move on with their lives. “I have no idea which one of us brought the virus into the house, but all six of us left with it. It kept spreading from there,” he said.“I stayed in the hospital for three days, trying to get my mind around it. It was guilt, embarrassment, shame. I thought: ‘OK. Maybe now I’ve paid for my mistake.’ But it kept getting worse,” he said.
Green’s 52-year-old father-in-law, whom he called his “best friend,” and his father-in-law’s mother both died.
