Iowa teacher dies three days after testing positive for COVID-19

[UpInArms]

Jason Englert’s family said he tested positive just three days before his death.

Englert worked for the Belmond-Klemme Community School District in Wright County.

The 38-year-old man was found dead in his home on November 8th.

Wright County has been hit hard with the coronavirus. That’s why the district did mass testing last week.

Englert’s family said that’s how he learned he was positive.

1. Sad ...

Sounds like there's no way to know how long he'd had it. But presumably he didn't have symptoms, at least not serious ones prior to 3 days before his death. And that's scary to consider, esp. when he's only 38.

Then again, they don't know cause of death yet.

2. So incredibly sad. He died at home alone.

Jason Englert, 38, was in his first year of teaching the district's Talented and Gifted program, said Superintendent Daniel Frazier. An outbreak at the district's secondary school was reported the previous week, Frazier said, believed to be linked to students who were getting together outside school and spreading the virus. He said some of the students brought the virus to school.

5. Well,this is the hard facts of

Kim Reynolds failure to follow Science instead the wishes of her Political Party . Some what fimiliar with that area,this is the tip of a major disaster. Like most Farm Towns in the Midwest,the Schools and Churches are the Social Gathering Spots. Schools are not doing Social Distancing or wearing face coverings number one,second,sports programs as well as after school Activities have not been curtailed one bit.

Killer Kimmy is doing her best to peddle the false narrative.

3. Sad--probably either low oxygen levels (causing heart arrhythmia)

or clotting issues. My husband has a young coworker that was hospitalized for clotting problems related to covid.

4. This is so tragic. So young. This should not be.

All these people going around with no mask, acting a fool, blood is on their hands. Once this virus gets a hold of you, you don't know what will happen. May he rest in power.
