We almost had to remove the spouse of a patient from the hospital last night because he refused to believe that his wife, who had signs/symptoms of COVID for 10 days and was found with an oxygen saturation of *9%* after having a probable stroke, had COVID. Violently in denial.
But she had a stroke. This has nothing to do with COVID. Why are you making this about COVID
Refusing to accept that their decision to live at home with her COVID symptoms for 10 days without treatment dropped her SpO2 so low that her brain isnt receiving the necessary O2.

He did tell me when he was home and while he was feeling better, he said he was sorry he had given me so much grief about getting vaccinated, that he wished he could go back and get vaccinated, Stefani Daniel said. He told me as soon as all of this was done and he was better he would get vaccinated. He never wanted to put us through this again, or risk that our daughters could end up with it. and he said he wanted our loved ones to get vaccinated. He did not want anybody else that we knew or loved to go through this. https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/carthage-woman-urges-vaccinations-after-losing-husband-to-covid-19/article_a9892c0a-f702-11eb-80a7-c7fc4c1c73c9.html

(5,526 posts)A single story is circumstantial
Several stories is a trend
Dozens of stories is data
I think there needs to be a single place where these stories can be referred so that we can direct some attention to the aggregate story it is telling.
thanks for posting

(28,979 posts)Cleavon MD posts all deaths. I was just focusing on those who regretted not getting vaccinated before it was too late. Their stories should be shared everywhere a TV is running Fox News in America.

(28,979 posts)I would appreciate any names you wish to add. Cleavon MD has begun adding the names of infants and very young children who have died -- oftentimes because parents chose not to vaccinate, follow social distancing guidelines or otherwise keep their children safe.

(28,979 posts)Watching the news and the cars lined up for miles to get a COVID test. But no lines to get the vaccine. This, America, is a warped vision of reality.
