Whatever. I don’t really care one way or the other. That said, from the official statistics in New York City, it’s very rare for someone your age to get hit as hard as you did with no underlying conditions.
Anecdotally, on a daily basis, I see multitudes of old, fat, broken pieces of shit who obviously have never given a moment’s thought to health and fitness yet somehow have managed to survive this plague.
I mean I agree. We only have less than 70 persons in the ICU att the moment. I have the underlying condition of left ventricular hypertrophy. In 2019 my heart, liver and kidneys were all failing at the same time and my temp was sky high but somehow I made it. This time all they said was they easily sucked phlegm out of my lungs. All organ values are normal this time, good blood oxygenation. No cough unlike last time.
I don't know if they put me under unnecessarily. I was begging them in the ambulance not to do it. Maybe they could have tried the Donald Trump treatment first with dexamethasone. Last time they put some type of mask on me first but it made me panic and they say no one can stand having tubes going down their throat while concious. The recovery process is a bitch, it was only in the last couple of days I've been strong enough with enough motor control to type on my phone. I was ready to leave today but they say one more week.
They gave me a shitload of insulin, 40iu Tuejio (long acting lantus) and 30iu regular Lantus. Don't know the exact reason.
I too know morbidly obese people who barely felt sick. My aunt died early on of the pandemic and a friend of a friend died at 35. They took my brother in for observation for 3 days, just put a catheter on him, gave him paracetamol and told him not to move and things turned around.
