This is fearmongering and will keep those who truly need hospitalization from seeking treatment. I work in a hospital and this statement is not based on facts. When patients go to the hospital with COVID it is usually because they cant breathe and have had COVID for awhile. Some have not even sought medical attention at all. These patients are placed on oxygen and sometimes high flow oxygen to aide them in breathing. People wear themselves out trying to breathe and start retaining CO2. They are given fluids, IV steroids, antibiotics for secondary infections, nebulizer breathing treatments to open up the airways and yes, sometimes Remdesivir, and if it is early enough, monoclonal antibodies. Some patients have been vomiting or have had diarrhea and are are given meds for that. IV fluids are important in keeping lung secretions thin because when patients are dehydrated it causes lung secretions to thicken. Yes, some patients have to go on ventilators and some do die. Most of the ones who have died are obese and/or have diabetes. The majority of hospitalized patients are discharged home.Before you spew misinformation, may I suggest that you do some factual research. Most patients who seek medical treatment in an emergency room, are treated and sent home on medications and are not admitted to the hospital. If patients want to use alternative meds such as Ivermectin, they are free to do so, but if it doesnt work, I would never discourage anybody from waiting until it is too late to go to a hospital. Those are the patients most likely to wind up on a vent. Early treatment is key with vitamins c, d, and zinc, and ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, etc. Stay safe.
