I have an older family member on a ventilator due to pneumonia from covid. They are boosted but have comorbidities and old. I'm praying for the best outcome because I just can't with anything else.

The internet needs to do their thing and expose her. She needs to be unemployed and arrested before February hits.
She had been charged. You can’t go around threatening schools anymore. Of course she’s now all teary eye: she didn’t mean it like that, she’s passionate and didn’t get to pick her words carefully, blah blah blahThe internet needs to do their thing and expose her. She needs to be unemployed and arrested before February hits.
Fascinating. I would have never thought SSRI could help with COVID. This virus is so odd.So the docs started prescribing SSRIs to the patients with COVID in my department and it seems to be working. Less severe symptoms and no more deaths. Several studies support the off label use of SSRIs for COVID. I have about 8 months supply of Fluoxetine that i nearly threw out. I am glad I did not. Just in case there is a shortage.
COVID patients on SSRI antidepressants are less likely to die, study finds
A large analysis of health records from 87 health care centers across the United States found that people taking a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), particularly fluoxetine, were significantly less likely to die of COVID-19 than a matched control group.www.sciencedaily.com
COVID Patients on SSRI Antidepressants Are Less Likely to Die, UCSF-Stanford Study Finds
A UCSF and Stanford study of electronic health records linked SSRIs, the most widely prescribed antidepressants, to survival for COVID-19 patients.www.ucsf.edu
Whilst this is promising unfortunately many people of color aren’t prescribed SSRI’s. Most people of color especially those who are on Medicaid are prescribed the older forms of anti-depressants. Sadly there is ethnic disparity when it comes to who is more likely to be prescribed the newer anti-depressants which SSRI’s are.So the docs started prescribing SSRIs to the patients with COVID in my department and it seems to be working.

They are finding a protective benefit in the older versions as well. The bigger problem is that black and brown people are less likely to seek mental health treatment at all.Whilst this is promising unfortunately many people of color aren’t prescribed SSRI’s.

It is crazy. I live in Auburn but I am from Northern VA and seeing the difference in how this pandemic is being handled saddens me. AL is moving like there is no pandemic. Mask wearing is treated like an option and if you are wearing a mask, you're looked at like you're crazy. I went to urgent care the other week and it was jarring to see how many people were there for a COVID test AND how many of those people tested positive!My DH and I returned last evening from Huntsville, Alabama attending the funeral of my BF’s husband. He was loved by many and they came from all over the country to show their love of him and to support my friend and their beautiful children. (The entire service was held outdoors and it was 19 degrees (freezing) and everyone social distanced as well)
He was a graduate of Morehouse as well as a Freemason and to see his brothers there supporting him was MOVING! He will be missed by MANY!
I reside in Maryland and the stark difference of how we as a state are responding to COVID compared to Alabama is STRIKING! I literally saw majority of the people going maskless. There apparently is no state mandate so the few stores I entered (by necessity) were full of maskless shoppers.
The hotel front desk employees where we stayed were masked yet the housekeeping staff weren’t. Even the concierge weren’t masked. We literally refused to have the one maskless Valet park our car. It truly boggles the mind to see people maskless when we’ve lost so many in the US to this virus.
We as a society MUST get on one accord when it comes to COVID! The division and response to it MUST be in unison to eradicate it not only from the US but from the world.
Fluoxetine is prescribed generously. There is not a lot of resources allocated to Medicaid recipients for mental health services. Behavior health services are limited and costly. Waitlists to see a licensed specialist is ridiculously long and even within the mental health provider community, they are reluctant to take mental illness and disorders serious when it comes to black people. This is where the mistrust and the reluctancy to seek health services comes into play within the black community.Whilst this is promising unfortunately many people of color aren’t prescribed SSRI’s.

Remembering many people of color aren't properly diagnosed or even prescribed an anti-depressant at all.
His social media has been scrubbed but I think this opinion piece from the DailyKos speaks volumes about what kind of people these were.^^^^ was he one of those obnoxious anti-everything though? Because I can empathize with loved ones fighting against all odds to keep you alive when you try to do the right thing.
Judging by their looks and the extreme lengths to utilize resources and not accept reality give off that familiar stench of entitlement so I’m speculating - they probably were…
That picture. How are you in a hospital room with someone admitted for covid and you pull your masks down for a photo? Or maybe they were already down. That's even worse. And the picture is not how I'd want to remember a loved one. It would be painful for me to see them like that.His social media has been scrubbed but I think this opinion piece from the DailyKos speaks volumes about what kind of people these were.
It is not the first time an unvaccinated American has died from COVID - in all likelihood unnecessarily — and it will not be the last. But there are details in the story of Quiner’s demise that make it an interesting case study of the cost to others of a pointless COVID death. News reports do not say whether or not the unvaccinated victim was an anti-vaxxer. But as his wife described him as a ‘strong Christian,’ and because she chose to give interviews with Glenn Beck and with conservative podcaster Stew Peters on Red Voice Media, it is safe to assume he was.
When unvaxxed Scott Quiner died of COVID he was not the only victim (dailykos.com)
The family also took what I consider an utterly horrific photo in the hospital with their dead adjacent relative that can be seen in the link to the story.
I got that email yesterday. The language has such political slant. You should see the "anti-gov" emails we get on a regular basis from the State Health Dept.All of the sites in Florida that administers Monoclonal Antibody Treatments have been closed down. Over 2,000 appointments scheduled for today were canceled. There are two other Monoclonal Antibody Treatments that still have emergency authorization but Florida wasn't administering those. I wonder why?
“Florida disagrees with the decision that blocks access to any available treatments in the absence of clinical evidence,” the Florida Department of Health said in a news release. “To date, such clinical evidence has not been provided by the FDA.”
