(2,636 posts)COVID pneumonia = serious
O2 sats at 89 = serious
Has to be hospitalized during pandemic= serious
Methinks Allen West is not serious. Gaslighting as he goes. Another one who fucked around and found out. Zero pity.

(197 posts)We give supplemental oxygen to patients to maintain blood oxygen saturation of 92% to 96%. Its important to note that only patients on supplemental oxygen benefit from the life-saving effects of glucocorticoids, Sotoodehnia said. On average our hypoxemic patients had an oxygen saturation of 91% when they came into the hospital, so a huge number of them were already well below where we wouldve administered life-saving measures. For them, that care was delayed.
The study's primary measure was all-cause in-hospital mortality. Overall, 197 patients died in the hospital. Compared to those admitted with normal blood oxygen, hypoxemic patients had a mortality risk 1.8 to 4.0 times greater, depending on the patients blood oxygen levels. Similarly, compared to patients admitted with normal respiratory rates, those with tachypnea had a mortality risk 1.9 to 3.2 times greater.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.statesman.com/amp/8211621002
Democratic Underground: The second-largest investor in Regeneron is a firm whose CEO is Ron DeSantis number one political donor.
PolitiFact's Ruling: Mostly False
Here's why: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has staked out positions contrary to public health guidance on COVID-19, opposing some preventive measures, while emphasizing treatment. Now the Republican is being accused by a liberal group of favoring one of his political donors in his response to the pandemic.
DeSantis "has been discouraging masking and downplaying Covid vaccines," and instead is urging Floridians to use a treatment from the drug company Regeneron "after getting infected," Democratic Underground says in an Instagram post. "Youll be amazed to learn that the second-largest investor in Regeneron is Citadel Investment Group," whose CEO, Ken Griffin, is "DeSantis number one political donor," the post claims.
The post was flagged as part of Facebooks efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. Griffin is a major campaign donor to DeSantis, but his firm is only a small investor in Regeneron, and one of more than a thousand institutions with a stake in the company.

Citadel is not Regeneron's second-largest investor
To support the first part of its claim that Citadel Investment Group is the second-largest investor in Regeneron Democratic Underground cited a June 28 Yahoo Finance article that says "the second-largest stake" in Regeneron is held by Citadel Investment Group, which "holds a $171.2 million call position." But that article was referring to a group of 39 hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey, a finance website. Among those 39 hedge funds, the article said, Citadel had the second-largest investment in Regeneron. That does not make it the second-largest overall investor in Regeneron not by a long shot.
The article said Citadels position was a $171.2 million call position. A call position by itself does not represent ownership its an option to purchase stock. Asked about that discrepancy, Democratic Underground changed the text in its post to mention the call position and added a correction, but still erroneously referred to Citadel holding the second-largest call position in Regeneron.
Data from Nasdaq shows that as of June 30, Regeneron had more than 1,000 institutional investors. The top five were FMR LLC (known as Fidelity Investments), Blackrock, Vanguard Group, Capital World Investors and State Street. Each had between 4 million and 11 million shares. Citadel Advisors, part of Griffins company, owned 57,768 shares as of June 30, tripling its holdings from the previous quarter, according to Nasdaq. That amounts to less than 0.1% of Regenerons 105 million shares outstanding.

(14,971 posts)I had COVID pneumonia and mine didn't fall below 95/94. A nurse told me if it falls to 90 , head to the emergency room so they can start working on it because if it falls to 85 or below , it can start causing organ damage. If people wait too long, it's harder to fix.

(9,998 posts)If it's not serious, then why are you taking up hospital resources that could be used for someone who needs them?
Besides, Doctors don't know what they're doing. It was Doctors & Scientists who developed that vaccine you consider worthless.

(118,282 posts)they won't give him a peroxide nebulizer or a nice ice-cold glass of betadine; and they won't give him bleach injections or jam a bright lightbulb up his rear side. He'll have to sue to get the treatment he wants; and they'll demand his visitors wear masks
Shouldn't he just go meet a lot of GOP donors and leaders and talk about freedom?
liberal_mama
(1,495 posts)the same thing. She got the monoclonal antibodies too, but they didn't help her. She died in early February before she was eligible for vaccination though. She was planning on getting the vaccine. Allen should have gotten that vaccine!
