The old adage "that which does not kill me makes me stronger!" is generally bullshite when it comes to the medical profession.
The longer youre in the hospital the more likely other complications will arise. Its not always true longer is worse but generally.

The first person I personally knew who died of Covid was a 40 year old mother of 2. She tested positive on a Saturday and stayed home all week. She never went to the hospital but she cratered mid week and then started getting before. Her work supervisor checked on her the Sunday afternoon 8 days after she tested positive. She told him she was coming to work the next day. She died in her bed that night.

Sorry about your friend. My brother, age 60, went in two days before Christmas, and just finally came out four days ago. He was 5-11, 185, all muscle. He weighs 45 lbs lighter now and can walk about 10 steps and his blood oxygen goes down to about 50.
He has a long ways to go.

This happened with a family member. It was in 2020, pre-vaccine. Early 70s, very active. He got COVID & was home for 7-10 days before he felt bad enough for to see his doctor. He got sent to the hospital & admitted because his oxygen levels were low. He spent 4 weeks in the hospital, mostly with nothing more than a cannula, but his oxygen would drop whenever they removed it. Very few attempts to get him out of bed while there.
We facetimed be with him on a Saturday, and he was in good spirits & talking animatedly. The next day, we were told he took a turn for the worse and wasn’t going to make it. It was a huge shock after talking to him the night before. He passed 3 days later.

Heard of this happening. We know someone, (an early thirties aged male with no known health issues and physically fit) went into hospital after coming down with it and pneumonia, he then got released a week later or so, clotted while at home and passed away. Awful.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend l, will say a prayer for him and for you.

Glad you pulled through. Had it in November 2020 and ended up in hospital for 6 days. Mystery how it affects some people some ways and others another way

Thanks Jones. Not looking for medical opinions, just anecdotal experiences. He got worse, he got better, then died. Is that typical? We all thought the guy was out of the woods.
I knew an older lady who was 73, was hospitalized for COVID, got better, and was going to be sent home, and a day later, was dead. I wouldn't say typical, but not completely unusual. But, I'm not a doctor, either.

I’m sorry for your family’s loss. Prayers up to you and your family.

Thank you so much. I wish she would have tried to fight it more, but I think she lost her will to live even before she got it. My mom wanted to talk her out of refusing treatment, but there wasn’t anything she could do. However, I think she is starting to believe she probably wouldn’t have survived it even with more treatment.
I am sad she is gone, but even more upset to see the effect it has on my mom. My dad says she is taking it worse than when she lost her mother several years ago. The covid stuff can happen so fast.
I have more family members with covid right now than any other time. And they are spread out all over the country. I think they will all be okay though. Thanks again for the prayers and kind words.

Don't think so. Not typical. Unless the "turn" was an embolus. Especially with this variant and treatment advances like vapotherm etc.
Sorry about your friend.

Yes...there has been a roller coaster effect where patients appear to be getting better, then relapse.

This seems to be very common at the end of life regardless of Covid. I've heard it a lot. It's almost like nature gives you a chance to get square with everyone before passing.

He means is it typical for a covid death, not for someone who catches covid. Can you forget your politics for a minute?

This pandemic has really highlighted the shocking incompetence of the medical community as a whole. With their dogmatic approach to ineffective treatment strategies (or simply lack of willing-ness to do anything in many cases).
The vaccine has basically given them a dichotomy to where if the patient has not been vaccinated, they simply discount any treatment options whatsoever in favor of just letting them die (to which they'll blame the lack of vaccine rather than themselves).
On the other hand, the vaccine has been an absolute failure. It constantly needs to be updated to retain any effectiveness that it's thought to have. What an absolute disappointment in our medical professionals and medical science. It really makes you question if our medical science really is that far removed from the dark ages or if the previous decades of increased funding, costs, and press clippings were simply propping up a facade.

Sorry for your loss. The only antidotal perspective I have is the hospitals seem to be in it for the $ not your health.
How do you figure? Have you driven past an urgent care of ER during the COVID peaks? People are literally lined up out of the door trying to get in. What nefarious roles are hospitals playing in all this?

Literally the smartest people on Earth are working 24/7 to try and come up with a vaccine for this virus, and they came up with something that greatly reduces symptoms and prevents most people from having to go to the hospital/dying. What do you suggest they do?

Sorry for your loss.
I've lost enough frineds now it's starting to get depressing.
