They are but although covid is on death certificate they still could have died of natural causes 

Covid isn't put on a death certificate simply because someone has tested positive.  It is listed either as a primary cause of death or a contributory factor, e.g. someone may have had a history of pulmonary disease (say chronic bronchitis) and been admitted to hospital on previous occasions but recovered after treatment (oxygen etc). If they are admitted to hospital with similar symtoms, but are also confirmed to have Covid, however don't recover this time, then the primary cause of death may still be recorded as pulmonary disease with Covid as a contributory factor.  It's all down to the doctor's assessment.

Some potential good news.

https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/01/mercks-antiviral-pill-reduces-hospitalization-of-covid-patients-a-possible-game-changer-for-treatment/

 

 

An investigational antiviral pill reduced the chances that patients newly diagnosed with Covid-19 would be hospitalized by about 50%, a finding that could give doctors a desperately needed new way to treat the sick, the drug maker Merck announced Friday.

 

A five-day course of molnupiravir, developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, reduced both hospitalization and death compared to a placebo. In the placebo group, 53 patients, or 14.1%, were hospitalized or died. For those who received the drug, 28, or 7.3%, were hospitalized or died.

A simple oral medication to help treat Covid-19 has been an elusive goal since the start of the pandemic. Other drugs, including Gilead’s remdesivir, have also been shown to reduce hospitalizations if given early in the course of disease, but must be given intravenously.

“If this pans out, it will change the landscape,” said Andy Pavia, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at University of Utah. “There’s still a lot we need to know. What does the side effect profile look like? Do we know how to dose it in populations that are different such as children and the obese? But as a top-line result, this is definitely exciting.”

Scientists work toward an elusive dream: a simple pill to treat Covid-19

If approved, molnupiravir could have a dramatic impact on efforts to fight the pandemic. Merck and Ridgeback said they would seek an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration “as soon as possible” and would submit it to regulatory agencies worldwide.

The data from the study were made public in a press release and have not yet been peer-reviewed. But even top-line figures were encouraging. In the first 29 days of the study, there were no deaths reported in the group treated with molnupiravir and eight deaths reported among patients who received placebo.

 

Patients in the study had mild-to-moderate Covid-19, were within five days of symptom onset when dosed, and had at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes.

The study was stopped early on the recommendation of an independent data monitoring committee and in consultation with the FDA, Merck said. Such committees are charged with making sure studies are in the best interest of patients, and recommend they be stopped if it is clear a drug is effective.

 

Only limited information on side effects was made public in the press release, but the companies said rates were similar between the placebo group and the treated group. An adverse event, or bad outcome, occurred in 35% of those who received molnupiravir and 40% of those who received placebo. Only 1.3% of molnupiravir-treated subjects discontinued the drug because of an adverse event, compared to 3.4% who discontinued placebo.

 

“When people talk about endemic Covid and the future of Covid, they don’t spend as much time talking about the value of intervening early to reduce severity of disease and that’s a very valuable tool,” said Natalie Dean, an assistant professor of biostatistics at Emory University who studies infectious disease. “The more accessible that can be, the more effective it can be.”

In an interview, Dean Li, Merck’s head of research and development, said that no particular side effect stood out as being more common with the drug, but more complete data will be available at a later date.

 

That would be a powerful tool.  Possibly 50% protection against hospitalisations + a future herd immunity controlled endemic virus would massively insure against the NHS being too burdened by covid.  Potentially that kind of range of protections will enable an absolute return to normal.

“ Conned “ a man ? Nope .

 

Advised him or supported him to Make his own decision about his health ?

 

Maybe

 

 It’s clear That he was able to make that choice as the hospital could easily have stopped him if they believed he did not have the capacity to make his own decision about his treatment . He was  able to .

 

Morally it’s not a pleasant story at all really but we can only assume that the man was not vulnerable enough to be stopped from leaving the hospital . We don’t know the conversations he had or his wishes . It’s a half story . 
 

if his family were so concerned where were they ? Shouldn’t they have been there to stop it. ? Again they would not have been able to since the patient must have been deemed To be able to make his own decisions about his health . 
 

Your clearly looking for a “ rise “ as usual due to your crusade against people who are Making choices about their own body , pro choices but more known by their negative label of “  anti vaxxer” .   
 

The patient made a choice which turned out to be a very bad one . 

 

 

Confirmation bias at it's ignorant worse.  He was persuaded by a philistine. 

With hindsight, would you still think it's ok to persuade someone to make the same decision?

How the hell do you know he was persuaded by a “ philistine “ ? Tell me where it says that or is it just yout confirmation bias ! Your making inferences which May not be there.  There’s also a horrible element of ageism about your view . Just because he was 67 it doesn’t mean to say he was senile or demented .

The guy died that's why.  What more do you need? 

The guy obviously didn't know what he was talking about and it led to a death.  

Just stop it...

Do you not think a 67 years old person can make up his own mind about medical treatment ? If you had read my earlier comments you will know I said that the guy made the wrong choice by leaving the hospital but it was his choice to make and I strongly assume he was competent enough to make it as medical staff would have assessed his capacity to mans this decision. Whether he was swayed by his pro choice mates ? Well that’s not clear at all from the article .

But, but, but it's big pharma and it hasn't been tested for 25 years, so we don't know about any long term side-effects.  :whistling:

 

Hopefully, one more weapon in the arsenal against covid-19, excellent.

And your not understanding my reply . The patient made his own mind up

about his medical needs . He got advice from the medical team which he listened to But chose to not adhere to . Also he may have died in hospital regardless of his chose . His life his chose . Not yours or mine

Exactly, I'd guess most of them don't have a clue the amount of testing which goes on during these trials.

Presumably the people refusing the vaccine would refuse any pill/treatment that would reduce the effects of Covid anyway.

If adults haven't accepted vaccination for any reason other then medical, then hospital staff should be given option as to whether or not they want to care for them. Why should they risk their lives and help people who won't help themselves.

Why? They can reduce risk of Covid by taking Covid vaccine. They choose not to, yet expect nursing staff to treat them should they become ill. 

 

Smoking and drinking may play part in Covid, but that is up for debate. Taking the vaccine is proven to reduce your chance of requiring hospitalisation.

Hospital patient, 67, 'saved' by anti-vaxxer dies from COVID

Poor man. :( 

 

I've just watched the video of this, and poor man indeed, he's terrified, he's scared, could well have been in fight or flight mode whereby just wanting to get out of the fearful & stressful situation he finds himself in, and along comes a 'friend' who gives him that option to flee.

 

Whilst Mr. McCarron did choose to leave the hospital, I do wonder what his state of mind was when he made that decision and how much his fear and the prompting from his 'friend' played in the making of that decision.

When the polio vaccine was wideley available in the UK in the 1950s (and had been for years) the govt couldn't get adults to take up the vaccine, And then this happened ...

 

Jeffrey James Hall (7 September 1929 – 4 April 1959) was an English footballer who played as a right back for Birmingham City and England. It was the death of Hall – a young, fit, international footballer – from polio which helped to kick-start widespread public acceptance in Britain of the need for vaccination

 

So, reluctance on the part of some is understandable but after 70 years (in the case of the polio vaccine, which people now take as  a matter of course) you'd think people would be accustomed to the idea . But hey, the rest of us will do it so they don't have to.

Presumably the people refusing the vaccine would refuse any pill/treatment that would reduce the effects of Covid anyway.

If adults haven't accepted vaccination for any reason other then medical, then hospital staff should be given option as to whether or not they want to care for them. Why should they risk their lives and help people who won't help themselves.

Because we do it everyday. It comes with the territory. Everyone should get treated equally. Might not agree with it but I've never heard any staff comment about treating covid patients whether vaccinated or not.

This is what I don't get. This idea that it isn't proven/isn't safe/isn't tested enough.

Do these people apply this test/these tests to EVERY medication/treatment they could possibly exeperience ? No, they don't. The current noise on Covid vaccines is simply "look at me" narcissism.

Most likely because they don't have a choice.  I said I would give them that choice.

Why? They can reduce risk of Covid by taking Covid vaccine. They choose not to, yet expect nursing staff to treat them should they become ill. 

 

Smoking and drinking may play part in Covid, but that is up for debate. Taking the vaccine is proven to reduce your chance of requiring hospitalisation.

I’m talking generally about those who smoke,  drink eat to excess anyway regardless of covid . Should hospitals help them ?

Yes , James,  "really". 

I could give you two very different and very specific examples I know of from a personal experience but there isn't much point  because you're not "really" interested and will just move onto your  next shit post.

I presume the guys who are happy to take coke and other drugs do so with full confidence that these drugs are fully tested and safe.

You are right though, it's a desperation to look cool and clever, no more, no less.

I know you are simply choosing to be difficult and fully understand the difference, but anyway, will give it a try.

You can't infect a nurse through being obese or drinking a lot.

You can infect someone with Covid though, as you are blatantly aware.

No-one is attacking you, despite your desperate attention seeking attempts to act put upon.

It's pity I feel free for you, nothing more, nothing less.
