I went to the ER with 40% blood oxygen… they tried a CPAP mask first and it brought me back up to 99%. After that they almost vented me because I was taking 40 breathes per minute and I was warned to ‘slow it down or else the vent.’ I tried very hard to slow down and succeeded. I got remdesivir for 5 days and was fine. I’m also young, married, and pregnant…. They probably wanted to keep me off the vent at all costs.
But this… they are trying to kill this man. Why won’t a simple oxygen mask work for him? It’s the vent + remdesivir together that kill!!!
ALSO: IF YOU CARRY A LADDER ALMOST ANY PLACE WILL LET YOU IN.
Looks like it’s only for people who already are at stage 3 renal impairment: “… with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30…”
I told them to monitor my organ function daily via bloodwork and they did everyday at 5am. I was in the ICU for 10 days but only on remdesivir for 5 so they would have caught something before I was discharged.

You should have your kidneys checked, remdesivir is known to damage them. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34787281/
