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.

He chalked it up to My Vitamin D, C, and NAC protocol. I was taking all those before Covid hit.
Note that groups at high risk for the wuhan coronavirus have more stored iron. Maybe having excess iron makes having the wuhan coronavirus worse.
The Respiratory Therapist did a good job showing the sequence of events that take place with severe Covid, Covid infection.
No commentary, no sales pitch either way, just outlining the order in which things happen.
Well done by her.
Thank you for asking. He has a lingering issue with a sudden sharp coughing attack, which he says causes him to feel like he might black out. He can’t inhale during those.
Really scary when he’s driving and it happens while you’re at 70mph on the highway.
How long ago did he “get over” his infection?
NAC in normal doses can help loosen up phlegm to expel it. However, if he is continually having issues, look into the “long haulers” FLCCC protocol:
You have access to do much of that protocol all on your own.
Well, if that’s their primary motive, I’d have been a prime candidate for a ventilator. I was admitted and almost immediately put on high-flow O2 at 100%, where I stayed for days. Even that often left me at O2 levels of only around 90%, or even in the 80s% (and with any exertion, in the 70s%).
Nonetheless, no ventilator for me.
There may be doctors/hospitals who are just grabbing the bucks. But not the hospital nor any of the 10 doctors or so who attended me during my recent ‘rona “vacation” in our local hospital.
I sensed that every medical staff member was pulling hard for me. Even when they thought that I was going to check out permanently.
It tells a lot about the politics of this that this has not gotten more scrutiny by the press and officials.
But always immediately on the defensive if challenged. Needs to study how to debate properly.
We had this bout back in Jan. He was ill roughly four weeks - had a bad complication due to the severity of his cough also.
While his cough is very slowly improving, it is still an issue for him.
I’ll have him look over those links - thank you!
I read an account last week from a nurse losing her job because she won’t get the vaccine. She worked on the front lines for months in 2020 and said she only lost 2 patients. She never got Covid either. Was she lying then? Or is it possible that ppl have had different experiences with this virus, even in the same 1st world country?
“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.”
But since we compassionately told you to sit your butt at home “until you have trouble breathing”, you are now critical and you are going through hell. IF you survive, we will pat ourselves on the back and think we’re wonderful for “saving” you.
After a couple of days of dry cough, low grade fever, extreme fatigue & headache, I called the BCBS nurse line. I described my symptoms & she had to look them up in a book because CoVID was so new. She then asked me if I’d been to Wuhan, China, or China in general, or if I knew anyone who’d just returned from China or any foreign country. I answered no to all of those questions. Then she said it sure seemed like I had Covid and to quarantine at home for 2 weeks unless I had severe SOB, in which case I was to go to the ER.
So basically no one wanted to see me unless I was dying because they had nothing to offer me for treatment unless I was hospitalized, even though I was 66 at the time with mild hypertension. I didn’t leave my house for 3 weeks because I felt like crap anyway.
