A little girl dies of the consequences of Corona. Her own mother is said to have been the carrier of the virus.
Kassel – Kali Cook was only four years old when she found death from the consequences of a corona infection. The girl lived with her mother, father and older siblings in Baclif Texas, USA.
According to the Galveston County Health District, Kali died of the infectious disease Covid-19 on Tuesday (9/7/2021). Particularly fatal: Kali’s mother Karra Harwood, who infected her with the virus, was not vaccinated. “I was one of the people who were against it, I was against it,” she said. “Well, I wish I never had.” Kali is the youngest resident of the district to contract the virus and to die. The newspaper “Galveston County Dialy News” reports. No other resident of the district who is younger than 20 years old has succumbed to the virus.

“She was so funny and cheeky,” Karra Harwood told the newspaper. “She wasn’t your average little girl. She’d rather play with worms and frogs than wear bows. She was just so pretty and full of life. “
Philip Keizer, Galveston County’s local health expert, described the death as a tragedy. “It’s a horrible thing, but I think people need to know about it,” said Keizer. Kali has never tested positive for the coronavirus. She was not confirmed to have the virus until her body was examined by the Galveston County’s Medical Examiner’s Office. “I was diagnosed with Corona on Monday,” said Kali’s mother. After the diagnosis, she isolated herself at home and tried to stay away from her children, she explains. While her daughter had no diagnosed immune disorders or other health problems, she tended to get sicker than her siblings, Harwood said.

At around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, Kali’s mother noticed that her daughter had a fever. They gave her medication to lower the temperature, but this was unsuccessful. By 7:00 am, Kali was dead. “She died in her sleep,” said Harwood.

Like all children under the age of twelve, Kali could not be vaccinated before she died. Because of the Delta variant, the number of children confirmed to have the virus hit record numbers in Galveston County. Almost 30 percent of all cases in children under the age of twelve occurred in August, according to the health district. Children generally do not have serious symptoms of the virus. However, health officials have emphasized that children who show symptoms should receive medical attention as soon as possible.
