Reports last week revealed that people were dying of coronavirus in the US weeks before the first registered death. The first COVID-19 death occurred on February 29th in Kirkland, Washington, according to previous statistics. But new test results from Santa Clara, California, show that people were dying of COVID-19 complications weeks before that, on February 6th and 17th. That means these patients may have been infected at some point in mid-to-late January, as the disease needs up to 14 days of incubation before patients exhibit symptoms.
New details about the February 6th victim have now come to light, revealing that the heart of the 57-year-old patient had “burst” as a result of the infection.
