I'm wondering why they are only giving it to "seriously sick" patients?
Because the IV form is only really needed by those who are in really bad shape. Others can benefit simply by taking larger oral doses (2-10 grams per day), as tolerated by their bowels.
Can a person overdose on too much vitamin C?
Only in rare cases with people suffering from serious kidney disease. The worst that can happen for the vast majority of people is loose bowels/diarrhea.
Why not give it to everyone who has the virus just to be on the safe side?
Because they don't want people to know that they don't need their expensive drugs/treatment models if they actually learn about how to stay healthy.
You'll also notice that they are giving the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin.
Yes, but one aspect of this treatment (hydroxychloraquine) is being ignored - hell, I missed it initially myself...
The doctor in Monroe NY who is reporting such amazing results stated in his letter that the hydroxychloraquine was only being used as a facilitator - to assist in the Zinc sulfate he was also using to get into the cells.

WRONG!!! if taking regular pills(not liposomal), you can absolutely get Kidney stones.

Ummm... sorry, but you are the one who is wrong.

I know, I've had them too, got them from something that actually really does cause them - drinking too much soda pop with phosphoric acid.
Glad I finally came to my senses and got healthy years ago.
Taking supplements in high doses may lead to kidney stones
Excess vitamin C is excreted from the body as oxalate, a bodily waste product. ... Consuming too much vitamin C has the potential to increase the amount of oxalate in your urine, thus increasing the risk of developing kidney stones ( 13 )
Total and supplemental vitamin C intake is associated with a significantly elevated risk of kidney stones in men, according to a new study published online ahead of print in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases.
In a prospective cohort analysis, Pietro Manuel Ferraro, MD, of Columbus-Gemelli University Hospital, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, Italy, and colleagues found that total vitamin C intake of 90–249, 250–499, 500–999, and 1,000 mg/day or higher was associated with a 19%, 15%, 29%, and 43% increased risk of kidney stones among men compared with an intake below 90 mg/day (reference). The researchers found no association between total vitamin C intake and stones among women.

Me neither, and missing out on the benefits of Vitamin C would be hurting them.

Did you miss the significant words... "may" ... "has the potential"...
The link I posted earlier debunks this theory - read it - or not...

Orally dosing doesn't matter, at the end of the day... your body regulates vitamin C. Once it reaches a certain level in your bloodstream the rest is passed through the digestive system.
