Last place I'd go with Covid is a hospital. 😬
It doesn't matter if they are intubated or not. A patient who is diagnosed with COVID will have an increased medicare allotment (assuming they are on medicare) no matter what the treatment is.
Getting an extra ~40k to intubate a covid patient would never sway a hosptital's decision-making, would it?

Since considerable costs are involved with isolation and staffing for COVID patients it makes sense. Don't it?

Are you a doctor? Maybe there is no reason to treat them with it either.
Also, I've noticed that as soon as many of you get sick, you are right there, at the hospital, asking the PROFESSIONALS for help.
Maybe you guys should just stay home and treat yourselves since you don't seem to trust the doctors. I'm serious. The first few post basically state it. So fix yourselves, and leave the hospital beds to those who believe in the doctors and their education.
