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.
I have literally said above the vaccines are problematic.
And I’m choosing to mask until Day 21 because apparently I may be shedding longer due to the monoclonal antibody treatment. There’s a handful of studies showing that’s an issue, just like it is with Remdesivir.
You want to know why I’m pissed? Because the survival memes on this site and others made my father believe he’d be totally hunky-dory without doing any of the early treatment you need with comorbidities.
And because a woman was on here with an intubated son, and less than 12 hours later people were on here posting threads about how no one should be getting tested, it’s just prolonging a fake virus pandemic, etc.
