At this point in the story, it’s worth mentioning that cybercriminals exploit the coronavirus panic by creating hundreds of fraudulent websites, selling fake information and home test kits to steal people’s data and money. Cybersecurity experts reported that since January more than 4,000 coronavirus-related domains have been registered and about 300 of them are believed to be ‘malicious’ or ‘suspicious’.
Furthermore, when award-winning clinician Faheem Younus debunked some of the myths surrounding COVID-19, he mentioned that the “hold your breath for 10 seconds” test is totally nonsense, too. “Most young patients with coronavirus will be able to hold their breaths for much longer than 10 seconds,” he wrote. “And many elderly without the virus won’t be able to do it.”
Put on oxygen, given 2 nebulizer treatments and a mega shot of prednisone, blood oxygen concentration 90%. Told they were going to have me transported by ambulance to a hospital. Said I needed to be put on a ventilator.
F that. I refused. I had to sign a document that I refused going to a hospital; document said I could die if I didn't, and have it witnessed by the MD and an RN. Given a script for 5 days of oral prednisone and a nebulizer. Diagnosis: "undetermined upper respiratory viral infection".
Went home, had the scripts delivered.
5 days later went to my usual doctor, given 14 more days of prednisone, cough medicine with codeine and an antibiotic to be sure I didn't get a bacterial infection.
Sat at home. Alone. For 3+ weeks. I wasn't in bed, I couldn't lay down because I couldn't breathe laying down.
Here I am, 30 days later. I survived some unknown virus and I never felt better in my life.
