COVID-19 was listed as a contributory cause of her death, which was blamed on hypoxic schemic encephalopathy and related complications.

Gibbs, 48, gained notoriety after she attended the "Operation Gridlock" rally last spring outside the state Capitol where hundreds gathered to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's extension of her stay-at-home order to stem the spread of COVID-19. Gibbs was seen on TV without a face mask and not keeping social distance at the rally.

2. More from your link

In May, she was caught shoplifting from a Meijer store. She was sentenced to 12 months of probation, with the matter to be dismissed if she successfully completed probation.

At her sentencing, Gibbs said she was "extremely remorseful," was under an undue amount of stress and apologized to the citizens of Royal Oak.

In an earlier statement, she said: "I obviously was not thinking clearly, and I take full responsibility for my actions. Recently, I had to choose between insulin and food, and I chose the insulin, which helps me stay alive."

Gibbs, a first term city commissioner, at the time of her death was a Republican candidate for Oakland County Board of Commissioners,

She obviously was not thinking clearly ...

I only have sympathy for any normal people she may have infected.

6. She was probably against the ACA.

The irony in this is MASSIVE.

Too bad, Gibbs, I’m sure you would have voted against the ACA helping others in your situation.

C’est la vie.

11. They are going out of there way to say she didn't die from Covid-19, but complications of diabetis

How do they know that the Covid-19 wasn't a contributory factor?

Covid-19 has been shown to have various systemic effects
