California couple die of Covid and leave behind 5 kids, including newborn daughter.
. Davy Macias was unvaccinated because she was pregnant, Serey said, but it was unclear if Daniel was vaccinated.in early August — about two weeks before Davy Macias' Aug. 26 death — as hospitals in U.S. hot spots saw a disturbing number of unvaccinated mothers-to-be seriously ill with the virus.
The family all tested positive for the coronavirus after traveling in early August, according to Serey. But while their children recovered quickly, the parents' symptoms worsened. And shortly after returning from travel, they were both taken to the hospital and placed in the intensive care unit, less than a week apart —"a couple of rooms apart,” Serey said.
Davy Macias was 32 weeks pregnant and “optimistic” about her recovery when she was hospitalized in the first weekend of August, Serey said. But, she said, the expecting mother was intubated and never met her daughter when she gave birth via Cesarean section on Aug. 18. Daniel Macias only met his fifth child briefly before he was intubated about three days after her birth.
According to Serey, she didn’t know if Davy Macias regretted not taking the coronavirus vaccine sooner; she only knew that the couple thought they would recover quickly and introduce their fifth child to the rest of the family themselves.Davy and Daniel Macias are survived by their five children, who are all being cared for by their grandparents.
Serey said she hasn’t spoken to the grandparents since Daniel Macias died. But, she added, after their mother died and their father remained in the ICU, the children “wondered where their parents were.”
