A beloved 30-year-old middle school social studies teacher from Brooklyn has died of COVID-19 following a month-long battle, after twice being turned away for testing before eventually being diagnosed with the virus.
Rana Zoe Mungin, who had been clinging to life in the hospital for more than a month, died on Monday afternoon, her mother confirmed to ABC News.
Despite repeated pleas for help and exhibiting various symptoms of the virus, Mungin was twice denied COVID-19 testing at Brooklyn's Brookdale Hospital, according to her family.
It was the same hospital where her older sister died of an asthma attack 15 years earlier.
According to one of her friends, her condition was also dismissed as a "panic attack" by an EMT.

more blood on his tiny hands. He is indirectly responsible for this unnecessary death. This did NOT have to happen!
