They both have lost their lives to coronavirus within a week’s difference. A former US postal worker Keith Robinson died because of coronavirus just 11 days after his wife Gwendolyn because of the same contagious virus. Both Keith Robinson and his Gwendolyn were having comorbidities. While Keith, aged 62, had diabetes, and Gwendolyn, aged 60, had asthma as well as blood cancer.
Gwendolyn Robinson, 62yo Volunteer Services, Yountville Veterans Home, Vallejo, CA, died of #covid19yon 7/18.
