Many of the stroke victims were from the younger group, unlikely candidates for strokes, least likely to die , least of all, a stroke .
Condolences to the Family.
the medical hotline she was trying to contact and they ignored her
Statements by him and other grapevines would be obsolete if we were given facts.
So sorry for the family and friends of the Ms. Malone. May she Rest In Peace.
Wow covid-19 strikes again?
But I do know of someone who had all the symptoms and the hospital told her quote we don’t want no crowd up in here stay there
No help came either mind u the person couldn’t breathe we had to get involved to help her
Even the number they say call nobody answers
Now d person get through to go hospital n by appt they test her n told her 6hrs and send her home
Mind u someone brought her there
No quarantine nothing they never call back she kept calling until money done on phone
Luckily it wasn’t the virus
Anyways she had
High fever
Runny nose
Unable to breathe properly
Lost of appetite
Soar throat
And imagine calling hospital for help 2 days with no help
If she had the virus well I dunno what woulda be d outcome.
Is from that we look diff at the systems cause that’s what we know there maybe others this happened or happening too
This is sad n also scary that same day also a Spanish woman take in with high blood pressure no help
Tenants went Police to get pass as they calling ambulance none came
Police said no wait till ambulance comes
When her situation was worsening another tenant attempted to take her they reach halfway to town and again was turned back

Wow! These comments are even more brain dead than usual. Who are all these idiots? Do they really live among us? How can they survive with such stupidity?
Many secrets ,omission and loose ends for the public, the potential victims. Play nice, feed them, quote scriptures,they wont be the wiser.
Leviticus 26:21 KJV
The St. George's Community would like to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of our dear sister, Ms. Brooks, affectionately known to us as Ms. Shirley. Ms. Brooks gave oversight to the Canteen operations of the St. George's Secondary over the last couple of years and had a very close relationship with many of our students.
Ms. Brooks was one who could decipher the pulse of the school and supported the Principal's office on many school initiatives. One such undertaking was the introduction of a feeding programme in 2019, where students and staff were served hot cereal in the morning at no cost to them. She also supported many fundraising initiatives of our past Graduating classes.
Ms. Brooks believed in St. George's Secondary, not just as a brand, but as an institution which sought to mold young individuals into becoming better human beings, as they grew up in an unsteady and confusing world. She was the main greeting point for many parents and students in the morning when they arrived at school. As well, she looked out for many children ensuring that they had lunch, even if they did not have the money to pay for it.
Psalm 34:18 tells us: The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Death is not an easily accepted occurrence, but the pain can eased.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
As far as you know was she ill ?
If so,what was the nature of her illness?
How long was she ill?
RIP Shirleen.
