Fully vaccinated couple die from Covid one minute apart

A fully vaccinated couple were quickly hospitalised after contracting Covid-19 and died just one minute apart while holding hands.

The pair had underlying health conditions.

A fully vaccinated American couple with underlying health issues have died one minute apart from each other in hospital.

Cal Dunham, 59, and wife Linda, 66 died from the virus on Sunday.

Their daughter Sarah Dunham said both had underlying health conditions and fell ill earlier this month.

“[My dad] called me before our family camping trip and said he wasn’t feeling good but he thinks it’s just like sinus, and [Linda] caught it and she’s like, he gave me his cold,” she told Fox17.

The pair had underlying health conditions.

“The third day they woke me up and said, ‘We’ve got to go because we don’t feel well.’ So I packed them all up and they left.”

The pair were quickly hospitalised and placed on ventilators. They died while holding hands; Cal passed away at 11.07am, and his wife followed at 11.08am.

Sarah added her parents’ deaths show how serious the virus is.

The pair had underlying health conditions.

“I’m angry because so many people are like, ‘if I catch Covid, I catch Covid that’s what it is.’ No, it’s not,” she said. “It could be any person; it could be anybody. They did everything right, they did everything to protocol the way it should be done.”

The Covid vaccines have been proven to reduce the risk of catching the virus and severely reduce the symptoms of those who get it.

According to America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, unvaccinated people are 10 times more likely to be hospitalised and 11 times more likely to die from the virus.
