Ah, so the circle of the conspiracy continues to get bigger and bigger.
Which is a sure sign that it's totally true. Right?
Tell you want Bootney. Here's how my night went.
Guy had diabetes, like bad diabetes, history of stroke, hypertension, had a few stents put in.
Comes in with COVID. Not just a positive test. He had fevers and pulmonary infiltrates. Spends about 10 days on high flow nasal cannula and then NIPPV. Finally, yesterday morning he totally decompensated. Respiratory distress, could maintain saturations, required intubation. Then he coded. Got pulses back, off and on. Eventually stabilized on 4 pressors and maximal support from the ventilator, including Velitri. Even pushed tPA because he likely developed a PE but due to all the craziness, was totally a guess. Now, when I left he was basically alive. Oxygen saturations couldn't get over 80% but his heart was pumping and he had a BP. The odds that he survives at this point are essentially nil.
So this guy had a laundry list of comorbidities. Tons. Very unhealthy.
But at the end of the day, this guys is going to die of COVID.
So when people start talking about comorbidities being the bigger deal and not COVID, I basically automatically know they're just talking out their asses. Until proven otherwise.
Oh, and if you're wondering, he was unvaccinated.
