A CNN broadcaster, Washington Post (WP) said on the 2nd (local time) that a 50-year-old truck driver in California, who had a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) at a party, died the day after posting a regret on Facebook. ) Reported.

Thomas Macias, 51, of Lake Elsinore, about 110 kilometers from Los Angeles, California, was caught in Corona 19 after a barbecue last month near a neighborhood.

He belonged to the high-risk group due to obesity and underlying diseases such as diabetes.

So the family reported that they rarely went out before the barbecue party.

However, Macias was a sociable, social-loving person, and attended the party as California unraveled some of the Corona19 blockade.

However, a friend of Mathias, who was judged positive for Corona19, also attended the party.

He had no symptoms, so he didn't think he was contagious.

The friend later called the party attendees to let them know that he had been infected and had them tested, but it was already too late.

None of the attendees in the mask wore masks, and over 10 people, including Macias, were judged positive.

Macias posted a regrettable article on Facebook on the 20th of last month.

"My foolishness put my mother and sisters and my family's health at risk," he said. "It was a very painful experience. This (Corona 19) is not a joke. If you need to go out, wear a mask and social distance Keep it…hopefully with God's help, I can survive this disease.”

Macias' wish was not fulfilled.

The day after posting this, he called his mother in the morning and said she couldn't breathe, and died that night at 9 o'clock.

Riverside County, which belongs to Lake Elsinore, where Macias lives, is included in the watch list, which California ordered to ban indoor operations in restaurants, pubs and movie theaters on the 1st.

"I think it was a mistake to resume too early. I still have no vaccine and no means to fight this disease," said Macias' nephew daughter Daniel Lopez. "We shouldn't have resumed in the first place."

Macias wrote on Facebook, "Don't be a fool like me."
