Medical Report: 17-Year-Old Died After Attending Florida Churchs COVID Party
By Hemant Mehta, July 6, 2020
If you read the newspaper obituary for Carsyn Leigh Davis, a 17-year-old who died of COVID-19-related complications last month, its easy to like her even if you never met her. She volunteered. She worked with her church to give gifts to kids who didnt have the same privileges she had. She helped out in a special needs classroom. She wrote Christmas cards for soldiers. She participated in her high schools bowling league and choir. She was on the honor roll. She did all this while dealing with her own auto-immune disorder and dealing with the loss of her father, who died when she was 10.
But that story doesnt talk about why she died beyond the fact that it had something to do with COVID-19. It mostly relies on information posted by her family online.
Data scientist Dr. Rebekah Jones, who has been in the news lately because she was fired by the Florida Department of Health for pointing out how serious the virus was even though Republican officials were trying to downplay it, recently launched a website as a tribute to Florida victims of the virus. Yesterday, she posted some surprising and disturbing details about Carsyns death.
According to a public Medical Examiners report obtained by the website (but not posted online), Carsyns mother Carole Brunton Davis took her to a COVID Party hosted by their church on June 10.
I repeat, the mother took her immunocompromised daughter to a virus party with about 100 mask-less kids.
(snip)
Carsyns health declined so rapidly that she was admitted in a hospitals intensive care unit. But even though she was having trouble breathing, her mother declined intubating her.
Carsyn died two days after her 17th birthday.

A life snuffed out too soon because of ignorance...a "Covid party" is just insane , that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of thinking that taking your immunocompromised daughter to such a party wouldn't end in tragedy.

Sacrificing her daughter on the alter of Republican purity. I hope she can live with it.
