They gave me Remdesivir at first, along with steroids, antibiotics and oxygen. Then I was given an offer to participate in a clinical trial with Aviptadil. It’s highly likely I was given a placebo, or the drug had zero effect. My progress was not as expected though, and they told me last Tuesday that I’d be here for probably another 10-15 days.
I had a minor setback on Sunday and had shortness of breath again, and they had to bump up my O2 again. I’ve since recovered from that, but now they want to move me to a rehab hospital because as the butthead mentioned in a thread above, ICU beds are expensive and I don’t think they can afford to keep me convalescing in this type of room.
They are trying to find me a bed somewhere here in Dallas. I lost my insurance in July because I lost my job, so they have to try and find a facility that will either greatly reduce their fees, or provide charity.
I’m currently in Texas Health Frisco, very near my home.
At the moment, I’m more concerned about my recovery than the financial issues. They’re taking care of me and I’ll deal with all that when I get better.

That doesn't sound like it adheres to the provisions in the CARES Act.
