"Somebody decided that testing positive for COVID is something they can hide"

An 82-year-old cancer survivor died from COVID-19 after catching the virus from a friend who allegedly hid their infection so they could all get together and play cards, her family alleges.

Barb Bartolovich, of Ohio, was vaccinated against the virus and took strict safety precautions, including only socializing with people who were also vaccinated.

Her granddaughter, Lauren Nash, of Michigan, claims Bartolovich decided to attend a card game after all invitees claimed to be vaccinated. However, one attendee allegedly failed to disclose were sick with COVID.
