Why wasn’t he given hydroxychloroquine?

What a truly terrible thing your dad and your family are going through. I hope this somehow works out and you guys are ALL able to pull through this.

For starters, his first meal they brought him was lasagna. Even I get acid reflux thinking about that. Broth, fruit, etc. might've been better options for a sick person.
Other procedures that aren't protocol that are possibly life-saving include very high dose vitamin C delivered by IV. I feel like the approach here has been to sit and wait for symptoms to worsen before doing anything.
He needed to try to be more active and not just lie in bed. Even just standing with a walker or getting physical therapy while in treatment are also other suggestions I could think of.

I'm just dumbfounded that many doctors are ignoring the MATH Protocol in these cases.
As far as the vent goes it looks like they do

The MATH protocol I linked includes this.

Vitamin supplementation is great as prophylaxis against severe disease. That aint gonna save you once you are hospitalized

Makes expensive, bright yellow urine.
Vitamin D appears to have so therapeutic response.

Nope. That makes you get more short of breath and go downhill quicker. Getting up to sit in a chair or go to bathroom is fine

Too late for vitamin D. Plus you don't want to IV vitamin D, it's not water soluble.

Hospitals not allowing visitation and treating Covid patients like they have Ebola has greatly contributed to how many people have died. Patients have no family support or anyone there to fight for them, get them to be active, etc. No one at the hospital is going to be checking on a patient like a spouse or son/daughter would be.

Prayers for your dad but prepare yourself for the possibility of him not getting any better. I am an anesthesia provider and have dealt with Covid positive intubated patients and the percentages that come off of the vent is very low. Since the first Covid wave, I have only witnessed one person who came off of the Vent and went home. I don’t know your dad’s co-morbidities but I can tell you that we have a healthy 24 year old male who is on the Vent at our facility. People just don’t get any better and they eventually go into multi-system organ failure. If I had to put a percentage on those ventilated surviving, it’s probably around 5%. I know others have commented that half are coming off the vent but that hasn’t been what I am seeing at our facility. Sorry to hear about your dad. I just convinced my wife to get the vaccine and she is also in the medical field.

I think this is right. Families not around to ask questions and assist.
Hospitals are overwhelmed and patients need an advocate with them

Allowing patients to see loved ones in the hospital would have saved many lives IMO. And no, I have no double blind study checked by the AMA to make that assertion.

I hope it all goes well for him in the end baw.

A,D,E,K only lipid soluble. Seems the issue with Vit C would be once the body is saturated the remaining is discarded, also could have acid/base impacts.

About half our intubated Covid patients end up coming off vent. Its a bad situation but not a death sentence
Was about to post that know of two this week, ages 69 and mid-30s come off of the vent. Prayers to you and your family.
