[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must admit I thought this too. Trump and Christie already looked, even to my untrained medical eye, like exceptionally unhealthy people who could die of a stroke at any moment. Look I’m still masking and isolating and distancing, but the fact they ended up fine did give me some pause. [/quote]

They both had access to experimental antibody drugs that the rest of us don’t have access to, at least not yet.  https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/trump-ally-chris-christie-among-the-few-to-get-lilly-covid-19-antibody-drug-60757764

Best case scenario, maybe more people will have access to those treatments by the end of the year, but personally, I’m not counting on my family being important enough to be at the head of the line for the fancy antibody cocktail....even though we’re closer to the front of the line than most others (white, upper income, great health insurance + spouse is a frontline medical provider.)

We’ve already seen at least one of my husband’s coworkers vented in an ICU with COvID.  He made it through, but it was a loooooooong haul - I’d very much like for me and mine to be able to stay far, far away from the ICU.  Chris Christie also survived, but who knows if he has any long term consequences as a result?  A week in the ICU can have pretty serious repercussions in and of itself, not even taking into account any long term consequences from COVID.

Definitely keeping my mask on and keeping up with the social distancing - nowhere near ready to let my guard down on this![/quote]

He was vented?  I thought they decided this is terrible.  This must have been a long time ago.
