BREAKING RIGHT NOW, TWO
LOCAL WALMART EMPLOYEES DIE
AFTER CONTRACTED THE
CORONAVIRUS, BOTH MEN WORKED AT
THE EVERGREEN PARK LOCATION,
TONIGHT THE STORE IS PROMISING
CHANGES.
I SPOKE TO THE SISTER OF ONE
OF THE VICTIMS, PHILIP THOMAS
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
HE'S 48, HE WOULD'VE BEEN 49
ON APRIL 12.
I KEPT SEEING ON THE NEWS THAT
I FELT LIKE THEY WERE MAKING MY
BROTHER A NUMBER, HE'S NOT A
NUMBER, HE'S A PERSON.
HE'S A VERY GOOD GUY, HE WORKED
AT WALMART FOR NEAR NINE YEARS.
HE HAD LOTS OF FRIENDS THERE
AND THEY WERE DEVASTATED AS
WELL AS WE ARE AND HE KEPT
TELLING ME HE WASN'T FEELING
WELL, HE SAID HE CALLED HIS
DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR TOLD HIM
TO SELF QUARANTINE A WEEK AGO
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TOTALLY
WRONG BECAUSE HE'S DIABETIC AS
WELL.
SHE SAID HER BROTHER WAS
NEVER EXAMINED, JUST OFF OF
WORK UNTIL THE SELF QUARANTINE.
FINALLY ON THE 27th HE CALLED
AN AMBULANCE, HE DIED TWO DAYS
LATER.
I HOPE NO ONE ELSE DIES BUT
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A
COINCIDENCE OR WHATEVER IT IS
THAT TWO PEOPLE DIED FROM THAT
SAME WALMART.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE
OTHER GENTLEMAN WAS OF WORK AS
WELL AS MY BROTHER BEFORE HE
DIED.
I'M JUST PUTTING MY FAITH IN
GOD, THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO
BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S NO CURE
FOR IT BUT IT'S TAKEN MY
BROTHER.
HERE IS THE SECOND VICTIM,
MR. EVANS WHO WORKED AT THE
PARK STORE.
WALMART TELLS US NEITHER
ASSOCIATE HAD BID AND THE
LOCATION FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.
THE FAMILY SAYS HE WAS IN
QUARANTINE.
THE CHAIN ACKNOWLEDGES IT'S
MAKING CHANGES FOLLOWING THE
TWO DEATHS GETTING TOMORROW.
