Originally in 2020, the CDC said there was no kid-to-kid or kid-to-adult transmission. We know that Coronaviruses mutate on average every 10 days (which is why no vaccine ever worked against the common cold). So whatever they called the delta variant months ago is no longer the delta variant at all. Regardless, the newer mutations of Covid seem to be more contagious and less deadly. They allow for kid-to-kid and kid-to-adult transmission more.
So now my kid brought Covid home to all of us. The doctors are maintaining that there is NO approved outpatient treatment. We should just proceed to the hospital when we can breathe well. They say the hospital probably doesn't have remdesivir, and no one uses regeneron around here... so, basically all the healthcare workers have drank the Kool-Aid.
And of course, they think we're complete idiots that deserve to die once we told them we're unvaccinated.
So here's my question... we're taking horse ivermectin 0.6mg/kg daily, zinc 100mg daily. About to start vit D, vit C, aspirin. Still waiting on prescriptions from America Frontline Doctors to arrive. But what do we do if O2 levels drop to <90? Go into the non-evidence based, woke, agenda-driven hospitals that have contempt for the unvaxxed? (We don't meet criteria for Regeneron).
What else are we supposed to be doing right now? Is there anything I'm forgetting? Are treatments for kids the same as adults? I only have access to one Z-Pack that will go to whoever is sickest. Any ideas?
If your O2 levels drop below 90%, you're in real danger of losing your ability to do anything productive toward helping yourself. You are likely about to be incapacitated from lack of oxygen.
You'll want to decide right now whether there's a line in the sand. You can either choose to ride it out and hope that your O2 will improve on its own, or call the hospital and have them stabilize you, and deal with the vaccine argument when you get there.
Just understand that if your O2 is dropping that low, it's make-or-break time. Don't wait until you're oxygen-deprived to decide how to handle that kind of an emergency.
