North Texas Family Living a COVID Nightmare

(WBAP/KLIF) — One North Texas family is living a COVID-19 nightmare after a birthday party.  What started out as a joyous celebration of a 30th birthday in may has turned into one family member hanging on for life.

25 members of the Barbosa family gathered for a birthday party when a nephew infected with Coronavirus unknowingly exposed 18 family members.

Two of those were Ron Barbosa’s elderly parents, Frank and Carole, who are both struggling in the intensive care unit.  Ron Barbosa is pleading with Texans to practice health safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Health experts attribute a spike in cases to the 18 to 40 age group ignoring safety guidelines. Barbosa feels those careless actions cost lives.  His parents are high school sweethearts.

WFAA says the Metroplex is approaching 33,000 cases of the Coronavirus.
