That unvaccinated wife should ask about this possible treatment. Or a steroid type drug that has been shown to offer some help in recovery.
Should be easier to get the wife and kids (if 12 and older) vaxxed now.
I'm sorry people don't recognize that they really do need to get vaccinated. For my wife it was the fact that she works in the lab at a hospital and she was seeing what was going on. A mothballed floor of her hospital was reopened for Covid patients. A former "women's hospital" was repurposed as a Covid hospital. Refrigerated trucks were brought in to store the bodies. That the initial testing wasn't there and initially all tests had to be sent to the state lab for testing until the commercial labs (Labcorp, Quest) got testing available and then finally a way to test in the hospital lab. After the winter surge the hospital group was ready to close the Covid hospital down but the surge is here in NC too. And yet we have one aunt of my wife who won't get vaccinated as she doesn't trust the government yet she works for the same hospital group as my wife (though in food services). Her husband (who has had a triple heart bypass) however was not hesitant and got the vaccine, as have the rest of my wife's immediate and one-step removed family. All my immediate UK family have been vaccinated (save the kids, who are under 12). My eldest son got the shot as soon as he could, as did I. My youngest son is expecting to get his shot on his 12th birthday (yeah, what a present but still...)
The hospital group is now going to mandate vaccination or termination. This may pressure my wife's aunt to take the shot though she has mentioned she wants to retire next year.
Here's hoping that wife recovers.
