Coronavirus has taken another life.

Fitness influencer Dmitriy Stuzhuk has passed away at the age of 33 after suffering from complications related to COVID-19. The social media star's ex-wife, Sofia Stuzhuk, with whom he shared three kids, confirmed his death in a detailed Instagram post on Saturday, Oct. 17.

Earlier this week, Dmitriy updated his one million followers on his health in an Instagram post.

"CORONAVIRUS "COVID", DAY 8," he began his caption in Russian, which has also been translated to English. "As you all know from stories, I am sick with coronavirus. Today, after returning home, for the first time there was an enthusiasm for at least writing something. I want to share how I got sick and convincingly warn everyone: I also thought that there was no covid... Until I got sick."



Dmitriy explained he took a CT scan, and was later "prescribed treatment and began to insist on hospitalization."

"This is another story, because now there are renovations going on, the hospital is completely filled with people, some of them live in the corridor," he explained. "There is no food, no paper, no cutlery either! Nobody warned me about this."

How many times do we have to hear about these outcomes based on ignorance?

COVID is NOT about beliefs. Medical science is as good as it gets when it comes down to dealing with a pandemic. Their were beliefs that sickness was caused by demons, spells or the Almighty's wrath.

Medical science is NOT a belief system and people easily conflate things and overlay their beliefs on a crises like this, whether it is out of denial, fear, or just plain ignorance about the facts.

If you don't believe in it, COVID-19 really doesn't give a damn about that and denial is not a shield, but masks and social distancing are.

We have made superstition more important than actual medical science.

if he thought there was no covid he deserved it. He was part of the problem. Who knows how many people he killed infecting them.

and you're left wondering what their final thoughts were and/or if they ever acknowledged their mistakes.
