The official COVID-19/Coronavirus Discussion Thread...aka I hope I don't get the Rona

I can't imagine what this woman is going through right now
EL PASO, TX - A family's trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, turned into an absolute nightmare when three of them tested positive for COVID-19 before boarding their flight home to Baton Rouge.

Yolanda Comager says her husband is on a breathing machine after testing positive. He and two of their daughters were not allowed to fly home. Now, Comager is back in the states facing a whole other set of problems.

Currently, air passengers traveling to the United States are required to have a negative COVID test before they board a plane. Comager says they were tested about an hour before boarding. That's when they got the bad news.

"I just want to get my husband back over here," she said.

Comager flew back to Baton Rouge with their other daughter to try and find a way to get them all home. But things got bad quickly for her husband, who went to get checked out at a nearby hospital and was placed on oxygen.

"They charged him $3,700 to treat him on oxygen for 24 hours," Comager said.

She says their insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core, would not cover the costs.


"He called me in tears because he said that the hospital was refusing to treat him, and they kicked him out of the hospital because he didn't have $12,000 to continue treatments," she said.

Comager found out that they did not need a negative COVID-19 test to travel by land and booked her husband and two daughters on a bus to El Paso, TX. She then hopped in a car and drove by herself to Texas to pick up her family. But while on the bus to Texas, her husband got worse.

"I was here two hours ahead of them, and then I got a phone call from my daughter saying that my husband was on the bus and he could not breathe," Comager said.

He was taken to a hospital in Chihuahua, Mexico, a few hours from the border.

Monday is the last time she spoke with him, right before he was intubated. Comager says her husband is scared. He doesn't know the language, and he just wants to come home.

"He said, I don't know what's going to happen, but I just need you to know that I love you,' and I said I love you, too."

A couple of days ago, Comager tested positive and is now stuck in a hotel room in El Paso. Her other daughter, who is home in Baton Rouge, is also COVID-19 positive. Her two other daughters who were in Mexico have since tested negative and flew home.

Comager is now on a mission to get her husband home for care in the United States. She's been in touch with the U.S. Consulate and Louisiana senators, but so far she has not gotten her husband back to U.S. soil.

Comager says this is her second time getting COVID-19. The couple has not been vaccinated yet.

To add to the difficult journey, Comager says there are no phones at the hospital. She has not been able to speak with anyone there for an update. The last she heard, her husband was in stable condition.

Because their insurance is not covering the cost of his care, she estimates they have spent at least $15,000 out of pocket already.

There is a GoFundMe account set up to help cover costs.

I know there are stories from both sides about negative effects, but the negative effects of Covid on individuals, the health system, public gatherings, mask mandates, etc., seem to pale in comparison to the few anecdotal negative effects of the vaccine. I don’t see how anyone could equate the two.

Because you keep misinterpreting what I'm saying. For some reason you keep thinking I'm saying to deny the evidence all together because of the messenger and all I'm saying is that the messenger can taint/color how people take in whatever they're saying because of their own reputation. I never said to deny the evidence because of Rand Paul, Trump or whoever and you can search and you won't find 1 post of me saying that. What you will find is me saying that I can understand why someone would be distrustful of information they're giving out. That's not really a hard concept to grasp. It's how life works in general. We view some people as more trustworthy than others and are more or less willing to question things based on the source of said information.

If somebody told you that you can learn to shoot a jumper from Ray Allen or Rajon Rondo even though they could be teaching you the exact same shooting techniques whose advice would you be more willing to take even though they could be teaching you the exact same thing?

That's not my point at all. My point is people definitely are disregarding the science solely on the messenger.

how'd do you misdiagnose something so badly though?
Or is covid so far up people's asses the past 18 months that they can't fathom anything else or want to help treat folks properly now?
hopefully it's not too late to treat though...poor woman!
