But after her son contracted Covid at school she fell ill with the bug in spring and never recovered. Her family is now urging the public to get vaccinated against the bug and save themselves from suffering the same way Ms Jones did. The mum-of-two was hospitalised at Research Medical Center in Kansas City in early May and placed on a ventilator on May 13 after her health rapidly deteriorated. Although her Covid symptoms eventually cleared, the associated respiratory problems only worsened and she passed away on June 9. Ms Carmichael has appealed to others to learn from the tragic incident and get vaccinated as soon as they can.
