‘A lot of people are scared’: Groups work to educate California farmworkers about COVID-19 vaccine [The Record, Stockton, Calif]
Maria Isabel Ventura rushed her husband from Blythe to Palm Springs several weeks ago, watching with despair as he struggled to breathe along the 120-mile journey through the desert. Infected with COVID-19, he was so weak by the time they arrived that he needed a wheelchair to travel from the car to the doors of Desert Regional Medical Center’s emergency department.
After receiving oxygen over a 10-day stay at Desert Regional Medical Center, her husband is home and isolating. She, meanwhile, is effectively quarantining. She was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago, leaving her vulnerable to the virus.
