I have heard that vents and fans defeat the purpose. Much like wearing the mask without covering the nose.

Honestly, I wouldn't care as long as I could breathe and the places I need to get into let me in it would be worth it.

Poor guy. Prayers for him. Do they have him on a ventilator?

He wouldn't be at home if he was. He's just on oxygen provided via a tank. The ER suggested a vent at 90 percent BOL and they refused it.

I am so glad he is at home. I would rather pass at home if I have a choice.

My FIL was on a vent at home. He had Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Something interesting I've noticed while I've had Covid is that my lymph nodes aren't swollen at all. Any time I get sick the right one swells like a ping pong ball (not exaggerating) and the left one swells normally. Basic Google searches said it's common for them not to swell, but it's still interesting to me.

Very sorry to hear that. In this particular situation the grandfather went to the ER twice. The first time he tested positive for covid but refused Remdesiver and venting so they sent him home. The second time he was diagnosed with pneumonia but refused to be vented so they sent him home on oxygen. Plus both times he was in the ER he was there for upwards of 4 hours and never saw a doctor. In addition he was never given oxygen. The family thought home treatment was the best option.

Which lymph nodes or are you saying all of them? The body has many.

Why didn’t they offer him monoclonal antibodies?

I am trying to get SSD. Iwas told I had to go to their doctors. I checked the box I would go but could not wear a mask and the reason why with physician note. I was told today I could not see their doctors without the mask. They will put my application on hold until everything goes back to normal.WHAT!? There seems to be nothing I can do about it either.I don't know how I'm going to make it. I don't know what to do.
