Wife had double pneumonia and was in ICU from covid. Was given Remdisivir and got better after 3 days.
No problems since, that we know of.
Good to hear, thanks. Glad your wife is better

Remdesivir is poison

They treated my dad with it. He eventually got better, was very close to going on vent, stayed in hospital for 3 weeks. He never had any kidney trouble and is doing fine a year later. He is 79 years old.

I'm a respiratory therapist and I'm worried about that O2 sat. Is she on a nasal cannula? It sounds like she needs Bipap or Airvo/Vapotherm.
I'm not sure if this particular hospital has these kind of resources.

I went to hospital on Labor Day and stayed until the following Friday.. Covid Pneumonia.. did 4 bags of it. Didn’t know anything about it, my kidneys are fine to my knowledge so far.. guess it depends?

Not sure, but yes this hosp is small. I do know her o2 would get in 90s on 6-7 oxygen. But at night dip to 70s. Not sure if on nasal or mask.

Sorry she’s taken a bad turn, my family member was given Remdesivir and did not survive.

i imagine this is last ditch effort to keep off vent.
Remdisvir isn't going to stop this.
She hasn't made it to bipap or vapotherm yet...she shouldn't need a vent yet.
Not being there makes it impossible to know the situation.
*edit to add. If the hospital doesn't have those things available then slap a 100% NRB on her and transport her to ANYWHERE that can. Every hospital should have those capabilities.

My dad had similar symptoms and was in hospital. He did get remdisvir. For him being a young boomer in shape and active, it kicked his arse. He’s doing much better months after though. He is a stud, o +, LEO and farms.
I know this sounds weird and they’re probably doing it but my dad felt a lot better in hospital laying on his stomach.

Ivermectin.

Remdisvir with a 3% decrease to mortality rates but a 19% increased chance of kidney failure.
You can always weigh your options.
At this point...in her case...I wouldn't take it.
