A Dickson County, Tennessee mother died of COVID-19 this week after giving birth to a baby, both victims of a homicidal social policy of herd immunity which has allowed the deadly virus to spread far and wide.
Amanda Perry, had been admitted in mid-September to a local hospital emergency room with COVID-19. She was 32 months pregnant at the time and an emergency C-section was preformed.
Put on life support, she was then eventually airlifted to Richmond, Virginia for increased COVID-19 support and treatment in hopes of saving her life.
The 36-year-old’s partner, Billy, had driven to Richmond and rented an apartment to be near his wife who died October 18. The baby, Nolan, remained in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for a month and is reportedly doing well, living with his father, grandmother and two older brothers.
“We had three miscarriages before having Nolan,” Billy told NewChannel5. “She loved being a mom, she was put on this earth to be a mom.”
Amanda and Billy had five children from previous marriages, one a special-needs child. No doubt the couple faced intense economic pressures during the pandemic.
The family lived in White Bluff, Tennessee, but Amanda had been working as a hair stylist in Franklin, Tennessee. Franklin is the county seat for Williamson County, Tennessee, the richest county in the state.
It is 31 miles away and a 48-minute drive with “light traffic,” according to a Microsoft mileage search.
It was not reported how Amanda contracted COVID-19. It is highly possible with school-age children one might have brought it home. It was not reported if the family had been tested.
