preview

Fiana Tulip is spending her days not only mourning her mother, who passed away at a Dallas hospital due to COVID-19, but also criticizing the Texas leaders currently in charge of setting the rules to keep citizens healthy safe."My mother likely contracted the virus at the hospital where she worked during the period when your forbade local governments from implementing their own safety measures, such as mandating the wearing of masks, to protect the public and healthcare workers from the spread of COVID-19," Tulip wrote to Governor Greg Abbott in an . "There is no doubt that poor policy and terrible leadership were responsible for her death."Her mother, Isabelle Odette Papadimitriou, died on July 4 after a week-long battle with the virus -- and Tulip has invited Governor Greg Abbott to her burial.In the open letter, Tulip wrote, "I invite you to her burial to witness our family mourning this incredible woman who gave her life to save others. You will see that we are unable to even hug each other in our grief because my brother tested positive for COVID-19 the day my mother died."In , Governor Abbott reopened most businesses and said he was not ready to issue a mask mandate. The Governor's requires Texans to now wear face masks in public outdoor areas and in establishments in counties with more than 20 positive coronavirus cases, which would have included Dallas County.COVID CHALLENGES:"My mom could still be alive had there been a mask mandate much earlier on and had Texas stayed closed," Tulip said to Don Lemon.Her mother, , was a 64-year-old respirator therapist with no underlying health issues. A day after writing in her journal that she felt dizzy and lightheaded, among other symptoms, she went searching for a COVID-19 testing site. After two days, she eventually found one and tested positive for the virus.Tulip added that her mother initially refused to go to the hospital because she knew they were at peak capacity and by the time an ambulance was finally called, it was too late."I looked at the way that Texas' leaders were handling the virus and it just seemed reckless and careless," Tulip said. "I couldn't understand why they opened up so early and as cases continued to spike, they continued to open up."that Governor Abbott hasn't responded publicly to the letter nor has he addressed their request for comment. Tulip said she also has not heard from his office.Tulip said they are limiting the number guests at the service, requiring everyone to wear a mask, keeping households six feet apart and providing hand sanitizer."If I can manage a safe funeral, you can manage a safe state and prevent these unnecessary tragedies," she said.
