Larry Pichon called an ambulance to take his wife, Judy, to a hospital in Lake Charles, in southwest Louisiana, on the morning of July 13. He'd had to do this before.
She had a rare autoimmune disease — granulomatosis with polyangiitis, which causes inflammation of blood vessels and can be particularly damaging for the lungs and kidneys. It wasn't uncommon for Judy to make a trip to the emergency room.
"When she got in the ambulance to go was the last time I saw her, and that was around nine o'clock," Larry remembered.

So very sad to read. I am glad he understands it is due to others not taking precautions and isn't blaming the hospital workers. It is a shame they have to do things the way they do, but they have to protect as many people as possible. I hope people really start to take this seriously. Just because you're allowed to go out and do things doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
