In August, my oldest brother was sick with CoVid symptoms for several days, but he had just had his first dose of vaccine, so wasn’t sure if he just felt sick from that. After another day or two, he continued getting worse, so they started testing him at home every day. 4 negative tests, and at the time, you had to have a positive test in order to qualify for the monoclonal antibody treatment. Day 5 test, (day 10 of the illness) he tested positive, but had O2 of 87, so no longer qualified for the monoclonal treatment. He was admitted to the regular floor first, then to a CoVid special room, then ICU. He succumbed about 20 days into the illness.
Sometimes they are false negatives, also, not just false positives. So beware either way.
So sorry to hear this about your brother. And it seems that the testing is almost making things more confusing.
OMG, how horrible. Sincere condolences.
...
Your brother succumbed 20 days into an illness he was vaccinated against?
bttt
On December 18th he was admitted to the hospital, and he was put on the ventilator on December 23rd. The doctors are guardedly optimistic since only his lungs seem to be affected at this point. All we can do is pray now.
They live in San Diego and were unvaccinated. I wish I would have known about Ruben’s condition sooner so I could have passed on information to help treat him. However, it’s my husband’s family and they’re not big on communication in general, plus we’re in AZ so we don’t stay in touch as much as we should. It’s just all very sad.
