Jason Hargrove is the face of COVID-19. Hargrove was a city bus driver in Detroit. I say “was,” because Hargrove died from COVID-19 two days ago, about two weeks after a passenger boarded his bus and began a series of uncovered coughs. It so upset the 50-year old that he took out his smart phone and, between bus runs, vented for over eight minutes in a live post on Facebook.
The video, which contains a good deal of profanity, is strong. It’s difficult to watch. It’s not clear whether the coughing woman is the way Hargrove became infected with the coronavirus, but it really doesn’t matter. The video tells an important story and I think we owe it to Jason Hargrove to watch it.
