I've read stories from nurses that say people come in that don't believe there is Covid and demand the drugs to fix whatever is wrong with them - but there's nothing the nurses or doctors can do for them other than to ease the symptoms.
Sort of like getting the flu - you can take something like Tylenol to ease the symptoms, but they don't give you anything for the flu, you just ride it out.

So you are telling me after one year, there is still nothing that can be done to lessen the effects of Covid and you have to take your chances and hope you do not die? No one has worked out a protocol to lessen the effects of the disease?
They were able to sort out a vaccine in one year, and not a treatment for the unlucky souls who catch it?
I remember reading a few months ago about a Doctor in Texas that was using pulmicort and albuterol with good success. I got excited since my son has to keep both on hand for his asthma. I hoped the treatment would go mainstream, then never heard another word about it.
Then I read about the Z-Packs showing a lot of promise, then that disappeared.
I have to admit, it seems totally insane to me to just send someone home to ride it out, it is not the Flu, the Flu did not shut our country down for a year so there is no comparison. I am having a hard time sorting out how nothing is being done for those that catch it. They have to wait for it to get too bad as in near fatal then they deal with it?
Insanity.
