My father is home from the hospital, by the grace of God, after being admitted for ARDS from COVID.
He was never put on a ventilator, by God’s grace. They still put him on Olumiant, which wasn’t great, but he’s home. He needed oxygen support; they didn’t send him home with any. His sats are still not normal, but they aren’t in the 80s anymore. Also gave him dexamethasone while he was there.
While he was in there they also gave him zinc, melatonin, vitamin c, vitamin d—the works.
He is still in terrible shape. He still has trouble eating and drinking. He has terrible nausea. We have to help him shower, and go to the bathroom.
They gave him methylprednisolone and famotidine to take at home. They didn’t give him an inhaler despite giving him one in the hospital.
So, to everyone on here spouting memes about the survival rate of COVID like those of us who are suffering serious consequences from getting the damn China virus are morons, I ask you to reconsider.
Yes, I know masks do nothing. But they put my father basically on the Zelenko protocol, and I finally convinced him to take ivermectin twice before he got admitted, and he still got screwed over. We tried to contact AFLDS and FLCCC for treatment; neither provider nor pharmacy got back to us before he was bad.
Masks may not work, and the vaccines may be problematic, but I’m currently hoping my dad doesn’t have lasting consequences of this damn thing. So please, consider showing some respect for those of us terrified our loved ones will not be okay for a long time after being COVID positive.
Maybe omicron will finally end this since it’s milder. I hope to God it does.
Ah, yes, how can I be so stupid as to try to protect my father from cold and flu viruses that are larger than the COVID virus and therefore won’t get through mask fabric?
Shame on me. Tsk, tsk.
I am not programmed. In fact, I’ve likely seen far more of the behind the scenes game being played than you have due to my brief, accidental foray into Cicada 3301.
Kindly stop being an asshole about it. That’s all I’m asking. We have differing opinions; you don’t have to be a male appendage just because we think differently.
Lol, whatever you say on that high horse of yours.
Wrong again.
I’m in vision therapy, and my homework in that therapy for the last year and a half has been reading articles published about the virus, treatments, etc. I’ve been involved in statistical discussions about all of this bull since it began. I was warning people they’d be bringing it to the states in 2019, long before I even knew about Q.
My dad isn’t elderly. He’s 63. Can’t even retire yet. Was completely fine until two weeks ago. Playing golf, working, yard work, everything.
Kindly show yourself out. I’m not about to get into an ego match with you on this.
