I just got a call from my in-laws in Spartanburg
Jan 6, 2021, 8:07 PM

Telling me that my brother in law, Clemson class of 66, has a severe case of the virus and is on a ventilator. This thing is awful and when it hit close to home it unbearable. Great people don’t need to go this way. Stay safe my friends. Evil lurks among us all.
I know this isn’t Clemson sports related but he was an avid fan like all of us. Go Tigers

Be a squeaky wheel. My family and I got it before and during Christmas. Fortunately we all had mild cases. However, when my mother, 71, tested positive I made her call her doctor and ask for the antibody treatment. Her doctor said they couldn’t give to her unless she was sick and admitted to the hospital. The treatment works best when given before the patient is severely sick. Fortunately my mother recovered with only mild symptoms. However, if you have an older or at risk relative, you should demand this treatment. Many doctors don’t seem to know about these treatments or how to administer. They are more complicated to administer as they must be given by IV, but studies show they work. I’m ashamed that I didn’t push harder. From what I’ve read, there’s not a shortage of the antibody treatments. Please push your doctor about these treatments if you or a relative is infected and is older or high risk. I should add that my family was fortunate and all had mild cases. If you or your family do get infected, please know that the vast majority of people recover with only mild symptoms, but we all need to take it seriously.

"Pushing harder" doesn't work. Remdesivir is given when criteria are met to give it, not because a family member decides they want it.

I think all of us are on the ventilator after that game. All jokes aside, prayers are in for your family. My grandpa who is 80 and grandmother who is 75 just got covid as well so say a prayer for my family as well. Thanks.

Have him on his stomach . They is a ton of research that shows the survival rate increases in that position. Here's one of many video's stating that. My prayers go out to his family and him as well

It seems to be hitting hard here in the upstate. I lost a close family friend 2 days ago to Covid. Prayers for all on here who have it or have a relative or friend that does.

That is exactly what they are doing. He has begun to breathe better and not rely totally on the ventilator in this position
