A 30-Year-Old Teacher Died of Coronavirus After Symptoms Were Misdiagnosed as a Panic Attack
After stuggling to get treatment, Rana Zoe Mungin, a 30-year-old teacher in New York, died of COVID-19.
She had a preexisting condition that included asthma and hypertension, putting her at high risk when she contracted the virus in March.
She had fever and shortness of breath but was turned away from the emergency room when she was told she was having a panic attack.
She was finally admitted to the hospital on March 27th, and after showing signs of improvement, died on April 27th.
Her sister had taken to Twitter to document the tragedy.
My sister Rana Zoe Mungin has COVID-19 and is fighting for her life, and she is currently on life support. She’s only 30 years old and has such a bright future ahead of her. I’m begging for some help to get her on the new drug Remdesivir or any help you can provide. #COVID19
