I’m a respiratory therapist. With the fourth wave of the pandemic in full swing, fueled by the highly contagious Delta variant, the trajectory of the patients I see, from admission to critical care, is all too familiar. When they’re vaccinated, their COVID-19 infections most likely end after Stage 1. If only that were the case for everyone.
Get vaccinated. If you choose not to, here’s what to expect if you are hospitalized for a serious case of COVID-19.
Stage 1. You’ve had debilitating symptoms for a few days, but now it is so hard to breathe that you come to the emergency room. Your oxygen saturation level tells us you need help, a supplemental flow of 1 to 4 liters of oxygen per minute. We admit you and start you on antivirals, steroids, anticoagulants or monoclonal antibodies. You’ll spend several days in the hospital feeling run-down, but if we can wean you off the oxygen, you’ll get discharged. You survive.

I’m not the one using others as sock-puppets to press my point of view.
I think some may have misunderstood my post, and the fault is mine.
The part that attempts to scare people into getting the experimental vaccine or dying.
Jamestown1630, Berlin_Freeper is likley referencing my post at #2. I used the term “unvaccinated rubes” as a rhetorical tool, and he found it useful.
My university has a very good nursing program. Nurses aren't scientists.
Respiratory therapists are on the next rung or two down from LPNs, who are down the ladder from RNs.
I know quite a few respiratory therapists.
Nice people, and good at what they do. But NOT scientists by any stretch of the imagination.
Respiratory therapy, covid treatment, covid progression is medical science.
Is all you post poorly thought short sentences? Have you ever tried making an argument?
There is no data on treatments for covid because the gov’t doesn’t want any other treatment. I keep hearing, “there is no data” on Ivermectin or the mono or hydro meds because they REFUSE to do studies on it so there is NO data to study.
I don’t agree with you That President Trump and Jim Robinson are sock puppets. I only mentioned them because of personal attacks as if I am important. Don’t care if a childish name caller gets vaccinated or not.
Try using the /sarc tag.
I should have.
I said "others".
I didn't mention anyone by name.
There you go again, dragging others into the discussion without pinging them [at least one of them]...
Funny considering the post I responded to was short and trailed off like this...
LoL!
What argument do you need?
Don’t get vaccinated for all I care.
No patient regret stories...just the 7 stages before COVID death as interpreted by a hospital respiratory therapist in Ventura, CA.
I think we've established that you're a troll who is not very serious.
Please don't post to me any more, and I shan't post to you again, nor trouble your vaxx trolling threads.
I met a guy yesterday who lost a friend to COVID yesterday morning. His friend was fully vaccinated and spent a month in the hospital. The course of his disease probably went like this nurse tells it.
There I go again?
Jim Robinson instructed me not to ping him to arguments and I respect that.
>> President Trump disagrees with you.
Trump also promoted Milley
Don’t get vaccinated for all I care.
Isn’t that off topic? You don’t know the topic of your own thread, the one you posted.
You think wrong as I am not a troll.
I posted an item about covid and for some crazy reason had to defend myself from childish personal attacks.
