How COVID19 Kill Couple Who Has Been Married For 50 Years The Same Day

TRACKING___A devoted couple who had been married for more than 50 years died within six minutes of each other after contracting the dreaded coronavirus.

Now their heartbroken son says he hopes their death is not in vain – urging people to take the novel virus seriously.

Stuart and Adrian Baker, aged 74 and 72 respectively, had been healthy before their illness, which began around three weeks ago.

They died in the same room after their ventilators were turned off.

The retired couple, from Florida, first fell unwell three weeks ago, before the scale of the crisis had hit home in the US. They died on Sunday, just minutes apart.

Their son Buddy Baker said;

In loving memory of my mom and dad- please make the tough and right choice and help stop the spreading of this virus.

The sports agent, 41, told CNN : “Until it touches you or touches somebody you know… you kind of feel removed from it.”
