A couple of months ago, my sister and her whole family got Covid and brought low by it. My brother in law stayed home sick for 2 weeks taking Dayquil until he got to a point where he couldn't breathe. They took him to the ER (in Florida) and they measured his O2 in the low 90s but said it wasn't low enough - gave him some meds and sent him home.

I found out he was sick after his visit (and didn't even know he had gone to the ER). I start telling my sister what she needs to get, who to contact for meds, etc but she is really weak. Then she tells me she is taking him back because he is coughing up blood. His O2 is now in the low 80s.

I told her they are going to push for Remdesivir and ventilator, and that she needed to push for X, Y and Z first, etc. She texts me back the next morning saying they put him on Remdesivir. The next night they threw him on a vent and vented him to the max and blew out his lung. Thirty six hours in his O2 is now in the 60s and they said he would be brain dead. Two and a half days after entering the hospital he was dead.

He was 40 years old and non smoker, 170lbs and no comorbidity. Pneumonia (they called it 'Covid pneumonia') is a real killer folks.
