http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-lt-gov-peggy-flanagan-s-brother-dies-of-covid-19/569024192/Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagans brother has died after contracting COVID-19.
The lieutenant governor said her brother Ron, who lived in Tennessee, was diagnosed with cancer several weeks ago and his immune system was compromised when he got the coronavirus.
To many, hell be a statistic: Tennessees second COVID-related death. But to me, Ill remember a loving, older brother, uncle, father, and husband, Flanagan wrote in an Instagram post Sunday.
She urged people to stay home to protect people like her brother.

I just know that he was recently diagnosed with cancer (don't which kind) and became infected with COVID-19.

He's on oxygen but at least not a vent.
Sending Amy and her family good thoughts.
