We have had probably 10-15 employees end up in the hospital at some point due to covid the last 18 months, probably 5 in the last 2 weeks and 0 have died.
I'm not downplaying the severity I am just saying you are exaggerating quite a large bit. Thing is you dont hear about the people who don't die or have long term issues, they just move on with their lives.

What I am saying is they are doing the same treatment options as last year which is throw everything at them and
HOPE one or more work. Monoclonal antibodies are an effective treatment option but they have to get it early on and by the time people usually go to the hospital it is too late. Also probably only the big hospitals have MA's.
My daughter is on Round 3 of Covid ICU duty and she told me last night she and her fellow ICU's RN's are telling people when they admit them, we will do what we can so good luck and you should have gotten vaccinated. Call it what you want.
