Six-week-old baby dies of coronavirus becoming America's 'youngest victim'

The six-week-old baby died in Connecticut last week, with the state's Governor saying the child is believed to be one of the youngest Covid-19 victims worldwide.

A six-week-old baby has died from coronavirus, becoming what is believed to be America's youngest victim.

The child died in Connecticut last week, with test results from last night showing they had Covid-19.

Governor of Connecticut Ned Lamont described the news as 'absolutely heartbreaking' and said the infant is believed to be one of the youngest people to die from the disease.

He tweeted: "It is with heartbreaking sadness today that we can confirm the first pediatric fatality in Connecticut linked to #COVID19. A 6-week-old newborn from the Hartford area was brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and could not be revived.

"Testing confirmed last night that the newborn was COVID-19 positive. This is absolutely heartbreaking. We believe this is one of the youngest lives lost anywhere due to complications relating to COVID-19.

The baby is believed to be the youngest person to die from Covid-19 in America.

"This is a virus that attacks our most fragile without mercy. This also stresses the importance of staying home and limiting exposure to other people.

"Your life and the lives of others could literally depend on it. Our prayers are with the family at this difficult time."

In his latest tweet, the Governor confirmed an additional 429 coronavirus cases in the state today, bringing Connecticut's total to 3,557, with 85 deaths.

He described the death as 'absolutely heartbreaking' in a series of tweets.

It comes after President Donald Trump warned Americans of a "painful" two weeks ahead, referring to modeling that showed an enormous jump in deaths to a range of 100,000 to 240,000 people from the virus in the coming months.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that the number of deaths had risen by 743 to 3,603 today.

It also reported 186,101 cases of coronavirus, an increase of 22,562 cases from its previous count.

More than 878,000 people have been infected by the virus worldwide, with Italy suffering the highest number of deaths at 12,428 fatalities.

I understand that Nigerians are hungry. Me I haven't had a decent meal since yesterday but should this happen in America with their advancement in medicine, just imagine what it would mean for us Nigerians.



To all the people that gave money directly to individuals to cushion the effects of this order, bless your heart and pockets with more.


What I know is that life and humanity will triumph. Let me leave the internet for now cause I have had enough of this virus news to last me until next year.

Stay safe
