Really bad thing: initial 911 call was for *chest pain* so no Covid19 precautions were used. He started w/ a fever after hospitalized. Died 24 hrs later. Post mortem CoVid test was positive. Now a bunch of first responders are quarantined. I imagine employees will be, also.

KCK firefighters fear their department hasn't prepared them properly for the coronavirus outbreak after five firefighters were put in isolation.

The firefighters found out two days after a call to Life Care Center in KCK that the cardiac patient they took to Providence Medical Center tested positive for COVID-19 after he died.

The news has left the local firefighters union concerned about crews' health and safety.
