On the antibody treatment, I had covid back in September and got the treatment after about 7 days of first showing symptoms. I'm not vaxxed and I was doing 100% better about 36 hrs after it. My wife had it worse and they wouldn't give her the treatment because she wasn't in a high risk category. She fought it for another week and a half after I was good. She also got it a couple of days before I did as well. I am diabetic, so that is why they gave me the infusion.
If they would just give it to everyone that gets it, they could really knock this bug down. I have talked to another individual that got the infusion, and he had the same results as I did.

Really happy to hear you and your wife are doing well. That's the BEST outcome.
My wife got IV fluids multiple times and breathing treatments, as well as steroids for the pneumonia. It sucked, but we survived. I'm still not sure I want a vaccine though.

Thanks. She did end up with pneumonia. That is why she was so sick. My 2 daughters had it at the same time, and were showing symptoms for 2 days.

When will the CDC correct its COVID death counts, as Italy just did?
The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country's official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.
UPDATE It seems that The Summit mistranslated the article. In fact, Italy only revisited some of the deaths. According to the chart below, over 130,000 deaths in Italy are attributed to COVID: Original article The Summit caught a fa...
The article then discusses the fact that deaths from COVID are confusing because COVID creates a lot of "clinical complications." However — and this is where the article starts tying in with what we know to be true:[T]he disease's brutal impact on people with other medical conditions — such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart ailments — can make COVID-19 one of several contributors to a death, says Sally Aiken, MD, chief medical examiner of Spokane County, Washington. Aiken has seen cases where elderly people who were in advanced decline due to Alzheimer's disease and atrial fibrillation contracted COVID-19 and soon died.
In other words, COVID hastens death but doesn't necessarily cause it. Moreover (and, again, this matters), when it comes to death certificates:Part I and II of a death certificate ask what caused a death and what other factors contributed to it. If COVID-19 appears among the causes and contributors, CDC guidance counts that as a COVID-19-related death.
Part I asks for the "immediate cause" of death, followed by any "conditions that led to the immediate cause," the CDC explains in guidelines for certifying COVID-19 fatalities. For example: In some COVID-19 cases, the immediate cause is an affliction that arose from the disease, such as pneumonia, while COVID-19 gets listed under that as an underlying condition that led to death. In other words, COVID-19 caused the pneumonia.
Alaska's policy is a good yardstick for what's going on:The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services explains on its website why the disease is cited if it played any role at all:
"Whether COVID-19 shortened a life by 15 years or 15 minutes; whether COVID-19 is an underlying or contributing condition, the virus was in circulation, infected an Alaskan, and hastened their death."
