Yolanda Comager says she and her family were heading home from a vacation in Puerto Vallarta when her husband and two of their three daughters tested positive for COVID-19 an hour before their flight home. The couple had not been vaccinated. Comager told ABC News affiliate WBRZ in Baton Rouge her husband, David, and the daughters were not allowed to board the flight home. Comager flew back to Baton Rouge with their other daughter to try and find a way to get them all home. But before she could make a plan, her husband got worse and ended up in a nearby hospital and was placed on oxygen. Comager told WBRZ the hospital charged her husband $3,700 for the oxygen treatment. It was at that point they were told their health insurance wouldn’t cover the 24 hour hospital stay. When David couldn’t pay another $12,000 for continued care, he was discharged from the hospital. https://twitter.com/chris_notcapn/status/1426682097574588419 After discovering Americans don’t need a negative COVID-19 test to travel by land to the U.S., she booked her husband and two daughters on a bus to El Paso, TX. She drove from Baton Rouge to El Paso planning to pick them up and drive home. But the husband got worse on the bus ride and had to be taken to a hospital in Chihuahua, Mexico. Last Monday, she spoke to him just before he was intubated. While in El Paso, Yolanda tested positive for COVID and found herself stuck in El Paso. Comager was finally able to get David to New Orleans on Saturday, August 14, where he remains on a ventilator. She estimates their medical bills have cost them at least $15,000 to date. Yolanda also shared that this is the second time she’s been diagnosed with COVID-19. And yet, no vaccinations. The couple has now set up a crowd funding campaign to pay their medical bills.

So the three infected family members travelled by bus to return to the US but he had breathing problems and had to go to hospital 😳
No thought of spreading the disease to others

They raised the money so good luck I guess 🤷🏾♀️

So, I see we’ve reached the “find out” portion of this game, have we? If only there was something…like…I don’t know…a vaccine, maybe, that could have changed the course of this disastrous vacation?

Wait, so to bypass the Covid restrictions, she put her *extremely* contagious husband and daughters on a bus? Did I read that right?!?

The article burying the part about them being unvaccinated until close to the bottom AND their GoFundMe not mentioning anything about their vaccination status drives me crazy.
