Unfortunately that is hospital protocol now in most states. I'm sure there will be malpractice suits in the future but that won't bring anyone back.
I know a guy from High School that just died this past weekend. He went to the hospital in Colorado and they immediately gave him Remdesivir which caused him to flat line while it was being administered. After that they vented him and he was dead a few days later.
I currently have a relative in the hospital in South Dakota where they gave him Regeneron/Regen-COV and he is on oxygen. Appears to have been through the worst.
Not sure if its a red state/blue state thing? Or just hospital by hospital basis? Either way, I'm convinced that Remdesivir is medical murder at this point.
The new CDC guidance is to not give monoclonals if the patient is after day 10 or needs oxygen.
Idk if there’s any truth to it, as I’m a couch medical article reader and not a full doctor. However, it makes some sense as your viral load peaks by day eight, and you’re dealing with the leftover inflammation by days nine and ten. The antibodies won’t have spike protein to attach to if the viral load is past peak.

It's always been 10 days for the monoclonal antibodies.
Huh. I thought they were using them after that point before. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
