Received this text from a good friend this morning whose son (healthy, no underlying medical conditions, age 30) is going on Day 8 since his Covid diagnosis. She said she begged him months ago to get vaccinated, but he refused and seemed to think he was invincible. She's now beside herself as she sits by the phone hour after hour, minute after minute waiting on an update.
"Took Kevin to ER last night and they admitted him. Sent me home as he is in isolation. Just talked to Dr. Severe Covid, double pneumonia. 85% oxygen.. so far he’s on 35 L of oxygen. They are starting plasma, Remdesivir, steroid and one other I didn’t get the name. He needs to eat to stop muscle/tissue damage. Pray he will eat today. Pray the meds work.
