'A nightmare': Florida woman survives COVID-19, discovers husband had died at home

[Ohio Joe]

From the article:

"Neither of the Steadmans were vaccinated.

“Both of us felt that it hadn’t been tested enough yet. Now after being in the hospital and talking with my doctor, when I am able to take it, I will in September,” she said."

You know... It's sad... It really is. This entire tragedy (and sooo many others) lie right at the feet of DeSantis and every other right wing murderer that continue to push their lies about covid and the vaccine.

[orwell]

1. No thoughts...

...no prayers.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Send the bill to Merd-e-Lardo...

[Texaswitchy]

2. Boo hoo

[MissB]

3. I'm sure that'll be the case with my mother

Can't convince her to go to the hospital. She's had extreme fatigue for a week and a half. Her husband was diagnosed with Covid a few days ago and remains in the hospital.

When I spoke with her this morning, she coughed. I mentioned pneumonia; it simply doesn't sink in with her.

If he gets released, I won't be surprised to learn she died at home. I'm talking to her everyday, but have been unable to convince her to get to the hospital.

She doesn't believe in covid apparently.

[Texaswitchy]

5. Sorry about your parents.

[MissB]

6. thank you

It's not my dad. He's her husband. I've been married longer than they have.

Never would've predicted that his fox-watching butt would find itself in a hospital. he clearly has more sense than she does.

Sorry, angry at the situation.

[Texaswitchy]

9. Been there.

I couldn't get my father away from the VA hospital.

They really killed him.

Tried to get him to a decent Dr.

There is only so much you can do.

[Ohio Joe]

8. Uggg... Not a good situation...

All the best to you and your mom

[magicarpet]

4. Priority one,... Own the Libs.

Yeee-Haaaa..... The.Libs are weeping like the snowflakes they are.

😪😫😓😫😪

[SamKnause]

7. I am so sick of these dumb ass fuckers.

I have zero sympathy for any of them.

If they have children they should be taken away. (This couple did not have children)

They are too stupid to raise children.

I can't believe they agree to be interviewed.

If they are looking for, or expecting sympathy that ship sailed long ago.

649,867 dead so far.

Fuck all of them.

[Harker]

10. I hope I never lose compassion for ignorant victims of heartless predators.

Their stupidity doesn't negate their humanity, even if it does bring an end to their lives.

[bedazzled]

18. Thank you for that

starting to think I was the only one who thought that

[Harker]

21. We're not alone.

I think that those with a contrary view are quicker to share it.

There's no joy for us in any of this disaster.

[bedazzled]

23. It is hard to witness this behavior without hatred and rage

especially while they are hurting others

I am trying to not respond with more negative energy

It is difficult sometimes

[lostnfound]

34. I feel like crying over every one of them

So bleak, the death and the ignorance and lack of trust

[bedazzled]

35. Try and keep your spirits up and send them good energy

I don't believe death is the end. Just a new set of lessons. I try and send positive energy to these sick souls even though it is hard sometimes. We are powerful and can answer these challenges. Times are hard for sweet, empathetic souls and you are definitely one

[Demsrule86]

31. That is so true.

[Botany]

11. It hadn't been tested enough.

Something like 250 million doses have been given out and almost no side effects and when did watching Fox News give you a degree in epidemiology?

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Worldwide, It's Over 5 Billion...

...distributed, about 4.4 billion administered.
That does include, however, vaccines not used in the US, including a huge number in China.
It's actually 365,000,000 in the US, as well.
If we add in the UK, Canada, the EU, and Australia, it's nearly 900 million!
There has barely been any testing regime within 3 orders of magnitude of these vaccines.
I actually don't believe people who say that.
It's a pseudoscientific excuse to cover up some other stupid motivation for refusing the vax.

[Botany]

26. And the one of the possible side effect for the J&J shot was a blood clotting issue in some women

...from their late teens up to about 45 @ a rate that was less then 5 in million (? I think) and that turned out to be just about the
same rate you would see in a normal population of women in those age ranges. But the odds of that same population of women
getting blood clotting problems from C-19 was many many times higher.

I had to laugh when some woman named Ms. Davis of Springfield, MO said she was upset with the way Dr. Fauci was researching
the vaccine.

BTW I think 365 million is a pretty good sample size. thanx for the update on the #s.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Fauci Researching The Vaccine!!!

What a dolt! There are thousands doing the research. Fauci's job is to understand that work & advise decision makers.
His job has nothing to do with researching the vaccines.
Ms. Davis is just spewing some pseudointellectual nonsense to cover her actual, idiotic reasons for not getting vaxxed.

[Botany]

32. I'm sure that Fauci was reading up on the vaccine

development and he might have been in communication with some of the researchers but what that woman was saying was just gibberish. She didn't like the way they had sequenced out the virus' RNA genome? The morphology was off on the spike protein?

I read her comments about 1.5 months ago and she was unvaccinated in Springfield, MO good chance she has the disease or is dead now.

Do these people understand why we don't have people in
iron lungs for polio anymore?

[Hortensis]

12. Very sad. But also, what's this paying $800 to clean the bedroom,

the "cleaners" spending less than a half hour (15 minutes by her count), and finding they'd cut the soiled part out of the mattress, presumably leaving the mattress? Whether they technically fulfilled their function or flat ripped her off, that's all wrong. Hope getting that in the local paper leads to nothing but trouble for the "cleaners."

[Fullduplexxx]

13. Stop it with your bullsht excuses

Fkg liars

[Marius25]

14. She's a Trump supporter and the couple met on Christian Mingle

[ProfessorGAC]

25. As I Said Above...

...I don't believe people who use that excuse.
They're refusing the vax for other dumb reasons and use the "not enough testing" thing as cover.
Likely the case with these 2.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Pretty obvious co-morbidity there, too...

sorry to hear it, but

[roamer65]

16. Who the fuck cares?

I don’t.

[alphafemale]

17. Dogs won't be near starved in two days.

They probably were not fed the entire time she was in the hospital.

[Chellee]

19. Yes. Agreed.

That's who I feel sorry for in this situation. The dogs. And only the dogs.

[GulfCoast66]

28. A cat would have started eating the body...

Or so I’ve heard

[alphafemale]

30. Won't even wait until you stop twitching.

lol

[dalton99a]

20. The price of selective listening

and zero critical thinking

[DSandra]

22. I live in California, and my father and one of my aunts is against being vaccinated

They are not white and both live in the coastal areas of California and both have been brainwashed by the anti-vaxxer disinformation. They are not just affecting people in red areas but in blue areas as well.

[GulfCoast66]

29. I'm calling Bullshit on the 'not tested enough'.

She is too embarrassed now that her husband is dead and she almost died to admit their situation is caused by their belief in conspiracy stuff.

[MoonlitKnight]

33. How many other innocent people have they killed?

How many others did they infect? At least 8-16 with the R factor of Delta.
How many died because of them consuming resources needed by others?

[LymphocyteLover]

36. SO. MUCH. DEATH. It's just unreal.
