A barber in Mississippi has died last Saturday (April 4) due to COVID-19. It is said that he did not shut down his business even though the epidemic rages, and was infected by one of his clients.
Eugene Thompson, the owner of the barbershops Taper Nation and Taper Nation 2, admitted that he had fallen sick in a Facebook post on March 17, and announced the close down of his business for the rest of the week.

“Quarantine yourself stay away from people...places.. or things...I felt a little acky... fever was a little high so I came to get checked... tapernation will be closed for the rest of the week...well deserved rest and relaxation...,” he wrote.
Less than a month after testing positive for COVID-19, Thompson died at the age of 46.
