A married couple died just hours apart after they contracted coronavirus, say heartbroken family members.
Phillip Tsai-Brooks wrote a tragic final Facebook post after he was admitted to a hospital with Covid-19 symptoms including a fever and breathing problems.
He thought he would make a full recovery and go home to his husband, Anthony (Tony) Brooks, telling his family and friends: "Be here for a couple of days... then quarantine 14 day."
But Mr Tsai-Brooks' condition worsened and Mr Brooks soon joined him on the same intensive care unit after he was found unresponsive at home.

Both died in a hospital in the US city of San Antonio, Texas, earlier this week.
Mr Tsai-Brooks' mum, who lived with the couple, has tested positive and is grieving alone at home while she self-isolates.
Family members, who are unable to comfort or care for her, have paid tribute to Mr Tsai-Brooks' and Mr Brooks, who was a local council member, saying they want to share their love story with the world.
One of Mr Tsai-Brooks' brothers told Fox San Antonio: "You can look at the end of the day, there are two family members we will miss and will never get back.
"It’s not worth going out socialising and having that chance risking the chance of getting it."
He added: "In our family, it was three people that contracted Covid-19. Out of those three, two died."
Mr Tsai-Brooks, who owned a hair salon and was originally from New York, saw a doctor and was sent home with medication after he fell ill.
Days later, he was admitted to a hospital and put on a ventilator.
In his final Facebook post on March 26, he wrote: "Back in the er .. oxygen super low. Heart rate low.
"Shortness breath vomiting blood pressure high fever 102.9.
"I tested positive for corona.
"Be here for a couple of days.. then quarantine 14 day."
Days earlier, he had described having "cold chills" and "body aches", and receiving a jab for whooping cough.
He said he had visited his niece at a hospital and was quarantining at home along with his mum.
He apologised to his customers for having to reschedule their hair appointments, adding: "Sorry dont wanna get anybody sick right this is a freaking nightmare."
Mr Brooks was found unresponsive by his mother-in-law and taken to the same hospital, where he was put in a room near his husband.
The couple died just hours apart earlier this week, Fox San Antonio reported.
Mr Tsai-Brooks' brothers said the deaths should serve as a warning to young people who aren't taking the disease seriously.
