If we had treated people with any sort of respiratory illness in 2019 as we did people in 2020, which is no treatment until they are hospital worth

First of all "baby", I am an ER nurse and I have probably taken care of at least a hundred Covid patients. My county led the state in Covid deaths in the first wave and my hospital has discharged almost a thousand patients home after they were admitted for Covid. So I think I can speak to this.

Most people didn't need to be hospitalized. Only about 10%-20% of them. We tested them. It took 2-3 days to get the results back. we sent them home with home pulse oximeters and called them up to check on them which is not something we ever did in 2019. When the results came back, I personally called them up and gave them their test results and I asked them all how they were doing. If they were getting worse, we discussed returning for further evaluation and possible admission. OVER 90% of the people I called up were fine and were well on the path to recovery. A few came back and were admitted. To my knowledge, none of them died. It was just a 2-3 day stay. None of the people we discharged home died.

The people who died were not the people we sent home. It was the people that were admitted immediately because their symptoms were that bad. Many times, they ended up intubated within 15 minutes of their arrival to the ER because they were that sick. they went to the ICU.

The ones who were sick but not that sick went to the med surg floor and the hospital was so full that we had Covid patients bedded in the ER for up to 24 hours and longer while they waited for a bed on the Covid unit to open.

I don't know what your story is but that's my story and I don't lie.

OVER 90% of the people I called up were fine and were well on the path to recovery.

How nice for them that they managed to survive your brutal indifference.

If they were getting worse, we discussed returning for further evaluation and possible admission.

You lost two to three days during the time when treatment was most possible and most effective.

If you had started treatment immediately you might have had far more people recover. Maybe even all. But you did not treat them.

You tested them.

And sent them home with no treatment to get worse.

Please name one other virus you treat that way.
