Not a good time to be friends or relatives to Hatari, boys. Got the word that Covid claimed my cousin last night. In the last 8 months, I've lost my step mother, father in law, aunt, and a couple of buddies including Don Sutton. However, only aunt and cousin were offical Covid casualties.
Cousin had a long history of heart trouble, and a month ago, went under the knife to get a spot removed from his lung. Tested positive for Covid at the hospital, but they sent him home. Hmmm, hisotry of significant heart disease, just had his lung cut on, tests positve for Covid, but he gets sent home? A week later, he's back in the hospital. Short story, his lungs filled up, and with his weakened heart, kidneys shut down. Dialysis was rough on his heart and body, and last night, he checked out.
Does this change my opinion on Covid and how it has been handled? No, viruses do what viruses do. Regular old influenza probably would have done him in the same manner. I have some questions about how my cousin was handled, but I get all the info from his wife and son, and that is only semi reliable.
So the message is, love your relatives and friends while you have them. That's all from here.

The wife had a coworked who was having breathing problems and was sent home. He died. I think the Dr's and nurses are worn out and GAF is busted, over worked and over booked for months on end now.
Sent my neice from icu to home with no inbetween. she lived

]Sorry to hear this. Did they deny him Ivermectin?
I'm not sure what protocols they used. Once he was in the hospital, I do know they gave some more advanced treatments. While I'm a believer in ivermectin and have taken it myself when my immediate family had Covid (and I remained neg for antibodies until vaccinated), Iver and hydroxy are most effective early on. (IMHO) I would have investigated giving him hydro and/or ivermectin when they sent him home with a positive test, but I seriously doubt any hospital would consider it. His heart condition was a major consideration with what treatment he could and coould not tolerate. Healthy people always fare better than the medically compromised.
