Grace Fusco, 73, a mother of 11 from Freehold, died in a hospital Wednesday night, her cousin and family lawyer Paradiso Fodera told the New York Times.

Fusco’s daughter, 55-year-old Rita Fusco-Jackson, died Friday, becoming New Jersey’s second coronavirus victim.

Meanwhile, Fusco’s eldest son, Carmine Fusco, also died from the virus at a hospital in Pennsylvania earlier Wednesday, Fodera told the paper.

Sad. Wonder if morbid obesity was a factor?

so a 75 year old, a 55 year old, and someone older than 55.
Can i guess that they were all big smokers their whole life, especially considering there's a few other family members who are hospitalized?

I think the guy is a harness racing trainer. Someone else who worked at the track with him died too.

I think the infection rate (not mortality rate) in Italy is largely due to the train system. Riding a train in Italy is like standing in a crowded elevator for an hour.

Well, if overweight Italians are high risk, a lot of people in southeast Louisiana are screwed.

Damn. That sucks for one family to be decimated like that.

I wonder if they had recently had a big family gathering. Lots of kissing and hugging at those things.

Sad but just another reason why we shouldn't normalize fatness. If they weren't so overweight, they all might still be alive.

A comment from the comments from the Daily Mail said that the now-dead son was a horse trainer and may have contracted the disease from another New Jersey horse trainer who was the first person to die from Coronavirus in New Jersey. Big family had a big get together leading to dead relatives (3)+ventilators+quarantine at home.

now we know why Jefferson Parish is being included with Orleans in terms of business/hospital quarantines

*ETA: just so everyone knows, I'm part Italiano so I'm allowed to make jokes about my people
