Now, she has lost her sister to the cooties.
Perhaps, she should have referred her sister to her new telehealth care cooties testing referral business.
I wonder if Fauci will attend the funeral, if there is a funeral.
She can hire Debbie Williams to coordinate the funeral.

Julena Gay, the sister of state Rep. Sherry Gay Dagnogo, D-Detroit, died Tuesday after battling coronavirus for several weeks.
Gay Dagnogo said last week that her sister had been on a ventilator for two weeks, but was improving. On Monday, she posted on her Facebook page that while her sister was recovering from COVID-19, she had developed sepsis, a life-threatening infection.
This obituary is part of “We Will Remember,” a series about those we’ve lost to the coronavirus.
Early Wednesday morning, she posted: "I’m Devastated, Heartbroken, and Disappointed! ... This feels like a horrible nightmare that I’m trapped in! God help me! I want my Sisterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Gay, 63, lived in Detroit and worked at Chrysler. She is survived by her mother, Willie Ruth Thomas; children Janita, Julian and Jaynell Gay and Jasyn Young, and her sister.
Members of the Detroit Caucus serving in the Michigan Legislature said they were devastated by the loss, compounded by the loss of state Rep. Isaac Robinson, D-Detroit, who died March 29 from a suspected coronavirus infection. Two other Detroit legislators, state Reps. Tyrone Carter and Karen Whitsett, both tested positive for COVID-19 and are recovering.
"In the face of this unspeakable crisis, Rep. Gay-Dagnogo has set an incredible example of leadership and strength for our entire community, weathering these vast impacts to our lives," said Rep. Tanesha Yancy, D-Harper Woods. "She’s done all of this while serving as a pillar in her own family throughout the past several weeks that her sister was hospitalized prior to her passing."
State Rep. LaTanya Garrett, D-Detroit, said that Gay's death was a loss for the city.
"Ms. Gay was a devoted activist ... who showed a deep love for the community. This is a tragic loss for our district and the entire city of Detroit," she said.
Carter said his battle with coronavirus gave him a glimpse of what Gay-Dagnogo's family was going through.
“After battling with this virus myself, I know firsthand the toll it can take not only on those of us who have tested positive, but our family, friends and loved ones, as well," he said.
On Wednesday, Detroit reported more than 7,100 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 475 deaths..
“We have lost far too many of our Detroit community members to this insidious pandemic, including a fellow legislator and now Rep. Gay-Dagnogo’s sister,” said Rep. Joe Tate, D-Detroit.
