Eighteen members of a North Texas family tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a surprise birthday party.
AUSTIN – Eighteen members of a North Texas family tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a surprise birthday party in late May.“We knew this was going to happen. I mean this whole time this has been going on we’ve been terrified,” Ron Barbosa told WFAA.
Barbosa, who is a volunteer EMT, and his wife, a doctor, chose not to attend the party, which was hosted by his nephew, due to safety reasons. Barbosa said that his family suspects his nephew, who had a slight cough at the time of the party, was the family member who was unknowingly infected after possibly being exposed at work.
Those infected include two young children, Barbosa’s elderly parents and his sister, who is battling breast cancer. Barbosa’s father, Frank, was admitted to the hospital on June 17 and placed in the intensive care unit soon after, where he remains. Barbosa told WFAA that his father is in need of blood plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients, who have established antibodies. “If you’ve recovered go donate your plasma,” Barbosa .
