Dr Anthony Fauci has revealed that the 32-year-old brother of his daughter’s boyfriend died of coronavirus despite being “athletic and healthy.”
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases opened up about the tragic death during a livestreamed interview on Wednesday.
Fauci told CNN’s Sanjay Gupta: “The answer is yes, but one in particular, my youngest daughter’s boyfriend’s brother is a 32-year-old young man, athletic, healthy, who got Covid-19 and had one of the unusual complications of cardiomyopathy with an arrhythmia and died.
“So there you have a 32-year-old young man, otherwise healthy actually, quite athletic and strong, who died.”
The father of three young woman – Jennifer 34, Megan, 31, and Alison, 28 – said the unexpected death “really saddened his daughter greatly.”
Fauci’s hour-long interview was hosted by the Harvard T.H. Chan school of Public Health during ‘COVID-19: Chasing Science to Save Lives’.
Despite the “healthy and athletic” mans death, the infectious disease expert also reminded listeners that Covid-19 is not normally deadly for people of young ages.
However, the virus does come with uncertainty for all ages and long-lasting issues for those who contract the disease.
Fauci explained: “You don’t want to overwhelm the general public, but you want them to at least understand that you’re dealing with real suffering and real disease and real loss in the form of death of loved ones.
“There has to be motivation enough for at least most of the people to adhere to the public health issues and public health recommendations that we make.”
