Five days after receiving his COVID-19 diagnosis, Darius Settles was dead. Just last month, he turned 30.
Having just turned 30, Settles is the youngest person to die from COVID-19 in Nashville, dying just five days after being diagnosed.

Horseshit.
I'm retired, considered low income in Tennessee, and have a health insurance plan through Blue Cross/Blue shield that costs me zero dollars a month in premium fees. Yeah, it's not the best plan in the world - I have to pay the first $1500 in both doctor/hospital bills and prescriptions, then I'm responsible for half the doctor visits and prescriptions after that, but there's a $7000 cap per year on what comes out of my pocket. It's not the best plan in the world but it's better than nothing.
Not only that, but I got a letter from them a few months ago saying they will cover ALL covid-related doctor visits, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for FREE.
He didn't die because he couldn't afford health insurance, he died because he had that immortality complex like all youngsters and didn't bother looking for something he could afford.
