Hey guys. Just looking to interact with people. My mother that I own a house with was diagnosed covid positive a couple weeks ago. She got really bad last night and I had to call 911. I wasn’t doing great so I asked her if she could stay the night. I guess that’s me being too over attached. We were supposed to talk after she got off work but she text me and said she’s going disc golfing with friends now and the more she thinks about it we aren’t worth salvaging. Guess she showed her true colors doing that on a day like today.
Sorry just needed to rant to someone.
Sadly she's already on the ventilator but yes, they do cause damage to the lungs and should only be used as a last resort. Hydroxychloroquine + zinc + azithromycin EARLY in the onset of the disease keeps the virus from propagating, but once a certain point passes even those are near useless. Will pray for OP's mom, very sad :(
well people in the comments are saying hcq + zpack (azithromycin) + zinc are helping even late in the disease, though the reports I read were all early in the disease so who knows. Also I've consistently seen that ventilators are putting too much pressure on the lungs, probably high O2 is a much better option. Health care providers should always start with preventative and least invasive measures first, but in NYC death hospitals for example, doctors and nurses are being completely reckless with patients because their family can't come in and advocate for them.
I wouldn't be supprised if there was a socialized aspect to the healthcare that gave hospitals money per person on ventilators.
No offense, but GFY.
you are not the word wolf. #DIPSHIT
Ok twitshit.
Ventilators can make it worse. 80% of patients on vents in NY die. covid attacks the endothelium (tissue wall of many organs in the body), and the positive pressure from the vent pops the deteriorated tiny balloons at the capillary level interchange level (alveoli).
Endotheliitis - it's why the heart attacks and the 'covid toes'.
