148 million confirmed novel coronavirus cases worldwide, more than 3 million deaths, and almost 86 million recoveries. Not to mention all the lost jobs and worsening mental health situation for many. That’s the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had globally. However, after more than a year of pain, grieving, endless lockdowns, and a medical crisis the likes of which most of us haven’t seen before, there are still people out there who believe that the coronavirus is a hoax. 

When redditor IzziSparks asked the doctors of Reddit to share what happened when they diagnosed Covid-19 deniers with the coronavirus, their thread immediately went viral. With nearly 76k upvotes and more than 19k comments, the topic quickly started up a fiery discussion about how some people will never believe the truth. Even if it’s staring them right in the face. Have a read through some of the stories that doctors shared, dear Readers.

Dr. Andrew Carroll, from Arizona, told Bored Panda that there's no surefire way of convincing Covid deniers that they're wrong even when the evidence seems overwhelming. "People believe those charismatic people on television over people who have dedicated their lives to science and saving lives. We even see people who are on oxygen in a hospital, dying, and we’re unable to save them, and there they are telling us that they don’t have Covid because it’s a hoax. While they’re dying. It makes no sense. Yes, there are still many people who believe it’s a government hoax (and it’s not just the US government) and some sort of means at population control," Dr. Carroll explained.

Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) Medical spouse here. Husband works as a hospitalist in a rural hospital one week a month. He went to help in the ER bc they had patient that needed to be tubed who was Covid positive but didn’t believe in Covid. The patient’s oxygen level got below 70% or 60% (or whatever severely hypoxic is) so they told him he needed to be intubated. The patient screamed at my husband that he was lying and that if he tubed him he’d sue. Husband asked if he could do it if the guy stopped breathing and the dude said “well that’s different”. So he waited 15 minutes for him to pass out from lack of oxygen and then intubated him and walked out.

Could be that he thought he wouldn't stop breathing, because he didn't believe it was COVID. "Yeah, whatever, not gonna happen, but do what ya gotta do".

15% of an oxygen level below 70% would result in brain damage. In this patient's case, I doubt anyone would be able to tell.

Isn't it just fantastic here in America, where %80 of people are just trying to make a living, mind their own business, care and respect about their fellow humans worldwide from every background, and just want a peaceful and happy existence ; while the other %20 make sure they are seen and heard by the rest of Earth's inhabitants -declaring they represent all 'mericans , as they dance on the world stage in full view. The media loves it, and captures every word, act, belief, and Twinkie they cram in their mouth; while the rest of us, stay mortified , especially when they hate out of ignorance, and mostly embarrassed, because if I saw Americans thru the lens of the %20- I would think what a lot of other pple in the world do:" Americans?! Yuck!" Yes, every place in the world has their small group of "%20", but unfortunately, our %20 think America *is the only place*. Sigh...guess we have to keep them, even other ppls %20 's wont play with them...

This was used when I was on ski patrol. *Very rarely* people would injure themselves badly but refuse to let anyone touch them and we couldn't do anything. They will eventually pass out from the pain, so you ask again if you can start treatment, no response? Take it as an OK. Really, WTF is wrong with some people??

I am deeply concerned about the psychological damage being done to all the brave frontline medical personnel who are working through this pandemic either through a sense of duty or because of orders. Even those who quit because they felt they needed to protect their families may have survivor guilt. Many, if not most will have PTSD from this, how could they not?

Doctor here.. I was working in a small community hospital in the A&E. This hospital was affiliated to a larger tertiary care center which was out of beds. So it wasn't accepting any more patients. The nearby hospitals were also out of beds. Us being a primary care could only give symptomatic treatment and refer the patient. Once a lady came with severe breathlessness. SpO2 was 68%. We couldn't do anything for her. We were out of O2. It was horrible.

In the UK there have been incidences of people with lung cancers, heart conditions, pneumonia and flu being diagnosed as covid. You can look up the UK Lung Cancer Coalition report and it states that people who presented to their GP with a cough were told to isolate at home and were not referred to a cancer specialist. I have heard doctors use the terms: possible covid, potentially covid, covid like, hard to differentiate, difficult clinical challenge and even put ??? on a patients notes. Patients going into hospital with UTIs and triaged to a covid ward despite testing negative and tests confirming the UTI. People with sepsis being left untreated because they were told they had “potential covid” put in a covid ward “to be on the safe side” and then placed on end of life. When a person died the doctor put it down as a covid death because the symptoms overlap. This is the reality across millions of hospitals around the world. There needs to be a completely independent investigation into this.

    One of the best examples of why Fox news should not be allowed to spread untruths about Covid. A recent example from Hannity: “Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid in Walmart,” Carlson said on his Monday show. “Call the police immediately, contact child protective services. Keep calling until someone arrives.” He went on: “What you’re looking at is abuse, it’s child abuse and you are morally obligated to attempt to prevent it.”

Screaming COVID19 don't exist. For them, it was a flu. Drink hot tea with lemon and honey at home. Some advil for fever. Everything will be alright. Refuse to be hospitalized. Try to sue the hospital with their army of lawyers. It was in June 2020. They signed their papers. Go home. Come two days later on the hospital. Dead. Their son was in Japan. Never come to reclaim body. He just called to confirm the death of his parents. End of the story.

    Ex-pat in Japan here. June 2020, Japan had such a severe entry ban that even people with permanent residency (green cards) weren't allowed to re-enter the country if they left after the beginning of April. For many, going back to their home countries to mourn didn't mean just leaving their livelihoods, but leaving their spouses and kids with absolutely no clue when they could return. It's entirely possible that their son didn't have an intention of returning regardless, but I just don't think it's fair to judge when we don't know his situation. I have difficulty imagining that any option was an easy one.

    Bored Panda wanted to get Dr. Carroll's take on the last few months and whether we can say that we're starting to win the fight against Covid-19. The doctor said that some people are getting a moment of respite, at least in the US, but pointed out that the situation has gone from bad to worse in India. Which might be a ticking time bomb for the rest of the world because of the potential coronavirus mutations there as the situation worsens. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Here in the US, with the number of people who have contracted the disease, along with a high number of immunizations, the caseload has dropped significantly. We can breathe for now, but the absolute tragedy in India has me very concerned about an escape mutation that may make its way back to the US which infects us once again," he said.

    "I believe it’ll infect the unvaccinated first, but may spread and could evade the vaccine immunity. We will need to watch carefully for any new mutations and make sure everyone around the world is vaccinated and boosted adequately to finally quell this once and for all. The death rate from this disease is much higher than the flu, and if it continues to perpetuate year over year, we will decimate our most needy, poor, and marginalized world citizens.​"

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) Didn’t diagnose, but I’m sure you’ll appreciate the mental gymnastics.. I worked obs & gynae a few months back. For obstetrics we had an amber ward (confirmed non-covid ward), and a red ward (confirmed covid/no test done). We’d require mum and partner to both get covid tests done in our clinic the day before the planned admission so we knew which ward to place them in. One patient refused to have the swab taken because she thought covid was a hoax. So we were told her she’d have to stay in the red ward during her admission as we couldn’t confirm she didn’t have covid if she didn’t have a test. She went absolutely mental saying “you can’t do that!! What if I get covid??!”

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) Doctor here: I was working in the COVID ICU as a resident physician. We were getting crushed with new patients and the ICUs were overflowing. I admitted this elderly gentleman around 2am with respiratory failure due to COVID. He was maintaining his oxygen saturation with high flow nasal cannula oxygen, but notably short of breath and unable to speak full sentences without gasping for air. At this point in the night I had been working about 22 hours into my 28 hour call shift. All I want to do is take a quick history and physical and get out of the room to reduce my exposure. He proceeds to tell me all about how COVID is a hoax and starts rambling on about some bible passage. He even told me I needed to read the Bible more. I was beyond emotionally and physically drained by this point to respond to the audacity of his comments. He would later get intubated and spend a week on the ventilator. I think he survived, but it’s hard to remember. To say this pandemic made me cynical is an understatement.

    Not a doctor. Each member of my family had Covid and still believe Covid is fake. The problem is they survived having Covid, so in their mind Covid isn't real. They also believe Kamala Harris is going to assassinate Biden, declare Sharia Law, and Obama will seize power with antifa. So there's that.

    The development of multiple shots to help people fight off Covid-19 hasn’t put a stop to the pandemic, even though it’s dented its advance in some areas. While some Western countries are slowly breathing a very wary (and weary) sigh of relief after mass vaccination programs have gone underway, other nations are struggling with the massive spread of the virus. Countries like India.

    The BBC reports that, at the time of writing, India has seen more Covid cases in the last week than any other country on Earth. “A ferocious second wave has seen the official death toll surpass 200,000,” the BBC writes. However, experts believe that the actual number of fatalities could, in fact, be much higher.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    India is in the midst of a medical catastrophe: hospitals have run out of beds in many areas, oxygen supplies are dwindling, and healthcare staff are overworked. Some nations are reaching out to help India deal with this crisis, including the United States.

I think I have pneumonia but its not covid. Scallion: Ok lets get a chest xray and check a covid test Idiot: No I definitely dont gave covid, I couldnt have gotten infected... I dont do anything. Scallion: Ok what did you do today? Idiot: Well I went to work, then watched my son play soccer, then went to dinner at chipotle, then we visited my daughter and her husband. Other than that nOtHiNg. Scallion: Ok you have COVID. Idiot: that test cant be right!?!? i have NO symptoms of covid! Scallion: you have literally every symptom of covid...and your covid test is positive. Idiot: thats crazy, my wife also has covid. What a coincidence!!! Scallion: please euthanize yourself

Loads of people who called it the "China virus" but they still took it seriously. Then I had 1 patient who didn't believe it when he was told he was positive so he spit on me. So obviously I got it too (eventhough I was wearing all the protective clothing but the guy was determined) and I got very sick and never went back.

    President Joe Biden plans to send vaccines to India where, currently, only just under 9 percent of the population has had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. In comparison, in the US, over 42 percent of all citizens have had at least one dose of the vaccine; the number stands at around 50 percent in the United Kingdom and a whopping 62 percent in Israel, according to Our World in Data.

    Despite all the overwhelming evidence, we still have deniers who trust fishy online sources more than official ones. Earlier on, I interviewed Joseph M. Pierre, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA. We spoke about conspiracy theories and why they’re so popular nowadays.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to Professor Pierre, conspiracy theories in the current era are political in nature and are rooted in people losing trust in authority figures. “It’s stereotypically liberals that trust science and support mask-wearing, social distancing, and vaccination (although historically there have been many liberal ‘anti-vaxxers’),” he told Bored Panda earlier.

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) I'm an attending physician at our Triage Unit. On a friday, an older gentleman (60 + years) came in with his entire family (wife, sister, BIL, 2 newphes and 3 children), none of them with a face-mask. All had mild COVID symtoms except him, he was saturating 80% with evident shortness of breath. We insisted in doing PCR and a chest CAT-scan looking for COVID but he and his wife refused saying that COVID wasn't real and it was just a bacterial infection.The more we talked with him the more aggitated he got to the point that his face was red. We suggested hospitalizing him to stabilize him and start treatment, but they accused us of exaggerating his symptoms and that we only wanted to hospitalize him so we could steal the liquid in his knees (a stupid rumor that was going around when this whole thing started). They both cursed at us and said they were going to a better hospital to get antibiotics. Fastfoward 24 hours later on Saturday, we get a call from the hospital next county over telling us that they intubated one of our patients because he went into respiratory failure when he arrived and they had to transfer him here because they don't have the appropiate equipment. We transfer the patient on Sunday only to find out on the CAT-scan he had 90% of lung damage. He passed away on Monday morning. Just before the family took the body away, I gave the widow the death certificate (that I filled out) and before walking away, she turns around and waves the certificate yelling "See! I told you it wasn't COVID! It says here: "Death due to pulmonary pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2! I knew it was a bacteria!". I told her: "SARS-CoV-2 is COVID-19, ma'am".

    Do you truly believe that all of one country can be "moronic and stupid"? Or do you think it more likely that articles like this (albeit very entertaining) enforce misconceptions since they focus on a specific subset of a population and does not represent a population as a whole? Please keep in mind the articles that are taking place in America also have American doctors and nurses that are not being "moronic and stupid" as well as the majority of the population.

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) I'm an anesthesiologist, and in our institution, we're the ones tasked with intubating covid suspects / positive patients who would otherwise die without ventilatory support. And holy hell, there are a lot of patients who don't believe Covid is real (most of them believe that it's just an elaborate lie that Doctors use to label random patients to mooch money off them). Some of them scream at us (in whatever capacity their diseased lungs can allow them to), some outright refuse intubation (in which case they die several hours later from respiratory failure). It's emotionally taxing having to face that every shift.

    There's a nurse on our street who has been working the COVID-19 wards, and she has had a lot of these denier claims thrown at her. Even this one, she said to the patient "I'm getting extra money out of faking COVID-19 ? Look around. See all these people with COVID-19? Imagine how much money I'm making off each one. Now wipe that smug grin off your face because do you really think I would be here right now listening to you when I could be sitting in a luxury home sipping champagne in front of a massive TV in a fluffy dressing gown and matching slippers? This is the NHS! You aren't even paying a penny." The patient recovered but hardly said a word while she was recovering. Apparently she got hit pretty hard with it and it changed her whole outlook on COVD-19

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) My wife’s a nurse, just had to deal with a patient who refused to get tested prior to her surgery so they had to treat her like a covid patient and needed to charge her for all the added PPE like gowns, goggles etc. the kicker is, recovery wouldn’t take her for observation while she was woken up so the anesthesiologist needed to stay and monitor her in the room for nearly 3 hours. They are billed at $400/15 minutes and there is no way her insurance is going to cover the extra cost because she signed a document saying she denied a covid test.

    “Wearing masks, unfortunately, has become a kind of political debate, at least here in the US. That is, it’s stereotypically conservatives or Trump supporters that refute the science on masks and Covid-19 more generally, continuing an undermining of science as an institution of authority that’s been ongoing for some years now and was played out before Covid-19 with climate change,” Pierre explained that parts of the debate related to Covid-19 (and avoiding it) have become completely political.

    What’s more, Professor Pierre from UCLA suggests not debating conspiracy theorists because they’ll keep “moving the goalposts” in order to protect their beliefs. “Often with conspiracy theories that involve scientific facts, there’s a tendency to focus on some obscure example of experimental minutia (e.g. the temperature of combusted jet fuel and the melting point of the WTC columns), and then moving onto another if that’s refuted, rather than addressing the big picture questions that make the conspiracy theory so ridiculous.”

If you test positive for COVID two times then you have COVID! People are crazy.

    I became disturbed when a take out restaurant allowed unmasked customers to come in. This was when the pandemic was at its most dangerous. I voiced my concern and told the employee that they were participating in perpetuating the contagion. When my order was ready, I took it home and opened it. The amount of food was about a quarter of what I normally got. I decided they were angry with me and ate it anyway. The next day, I developed severe stomach cramps and a type of dysentery that lasted several days. I am positive they put something in my food to punish me for speaking out about their adding to the longevity of the pandemic. Cannot prove it so I won't go back there again.

    There have been many times during this pandemic that I have been, let's say, less than proud to be an American. OK, that's a major understatement. I am, however, very proud of the essential workers who have battled through this and I thank them every day for their hard work. Is it horrible of me to think this is God's way of weeding out the stupid in my country??? Edit: No disrespect meant toward those that have died that were not Covid deniers. I feel sorry that they had to endure such a horrible disease and offer my condolences to their families. I am blessed to have only 2 members of my (extended) family that had Covid and followed proper procedures and have recovered.

    Meanwhile, at the start of the pandemic, I also had a chat with Dr. Claudia Pastides, from Babylon Health, about why people believe conspiracy theories about the coronavirus. She said that, at the time, there was a lack of substantial and verified information to explain why the virus behaves as it does. “As a result, it is easy to fill this void with untruths about the virus’s effects and the prevention of its symptoms,” she said. Since then, there’s been more and more information about the coronavirus.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “As people are desperate for more knowledge and information about the virus, they are more prone to believe these misconceptions. It is instinctive in humans to seek solutions to problems, and when there is a crisis, such as this pandemic, they might be willing to believe anything they hear without verifying it first,” Dr. Pastides explained why some people turned to conspiracies at the start of the pandemic last year.

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) My worst experience was when a 2 year old kid got diagnosed with COVID. His mother had brought him with c/o fever and diarrhea. The child was severely dehydrated and so we had to do a mandatory swab test since we planned to admit him. It came positive and the mother refused to admit it. We were ready to perform a repeat test and we even advised for the parents to get tested. Her defense was " The child never left the house. Its just I and the father who go to work daily. The grandmother babysits while we are away. How can he even get COVID without leaving the house." She had called her husband, he came with 10-15 relatives in a car, they broke a few chairs and then left with the baby. We just informed about the case to the COVID control centre.

    If the child was not officially admitted to the hospital yet the workers had no choice but to let them go. They didn't have standing to force them to stay until police arrived.

    ER doctor here. I diagnose people with COVID on the daily. Some people are actually really great about it, others are... more difficult. I'll tell you a tale that occurred during my most recent shift. Back to back rooms and patients. Patient A, in room #4, is a 23 yo male, no medical history, comes in with body aches, malaise, and fatigue. Also had some mild nausea without abdominal pain or vomiting. Patient B, in room #5, is a 51 yo female, medical history of intermittent asthma - so she uses a puffer infrequently, comes in with shortness of breath, has some possible fevers at home. In triage it was noted that this patient's Oxygen sats were in the 88 range and her heart rate wasn't elevated. Interestingly, when asked if she thought she had covid she said "I can't have it, I tested negative two weeks ago when my son tested positive. He's been sick at home." You guessed it. Both people covid +. Patient A went home. He's doing great. Was extremely remorseful and before he'd even left the ED he called his work to let them know he was positive and to get everyone there tested because he figured he had gotten the illness at work (IIRC he worked in a small family-owned warehouse as a foreman). He also called his parents and they were getting him setup to sleep in the garage until his quarantine was up. I respected this guy. Patient B got admitted to the hospital because her O2 sats weren't great. When I went back to tell her she was covid + she called me a liar and told me I must have made a mistake. She threatened to sign out AMA (against medical advice) but when she got up to leave she got so short of breath the nurse used that to convince her to stay. People are strange sometimes. I try not to let stuff bother me, but covid deniers come very close to crossing that line

    One thing that hasn’t changed is that we should do our best to verify if a source is trustworthy or not. Try to get your news from reliable sources, not niche websites, conspiracy theory groups, and your Facebook feed.

    “The World Health Organization has a dedicated coronavirus myth-busting page on their website, where they sum up the majority of the misconceptions flourishing on the internet at the minute. This is a great place to start to verify whether what you’ve heard is correct,” Dr. Pastides said. “[Another option] is to contact a medical professional, who will be able to tell you quickly if the theories you’ve heard are false or not.” And from what we’ve read about the enduring patience of doctors, we’re sure that they’ll be more than happy to help you out with your query, exhausted as they are.

I explained she had covid and that her sats with High Flow Nasal Oxygen at an FiO2 of 90% and 60L per minute with a 15LNRB over the top for good measure was still only 82-85%. She maintained it was a lie the entire time, even when her sats were in the 90s earlier in the admission to ITU. I explained we had to tube her to keep her alive. In the end I had to bargain with her that I was tubing her because she had a bad pneumonia but that COVID wasn’t the cause. I just agreed and so off we went. She actually survived and on her way out of ITU to a covid ward she just looked at myself and the consultant and said “told you it wasn’t covid”

I know medical people must do all they can to save lives but this all seems not only a tremendous waste, but also something being forced upon someone who does not want it. The effort is being wasted on people who do not want treatment when there are people who desperately need it and want it.

If you refuae the trwatment then that is on you. Get a second opinion if you must, but I said what I said. Kudos to the doc though for taking the higher road.

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) I am an emergency doctor and diagnosed a older white gentleman (60, probably) with covid. He came in with obvious symptoms but was obviously a Trump type guy with an attitude. When the swab came back positive he got visibly angry and asked me what I was going to do about it. He wasn't sick enough to need any treatment so I told him to just go home and stay hydrated and gave him my usual spiel about following up and yada yada. He then proceeded to scream at me that CNN told him this was the most horrible thing in the world and how could I possibly not do anything about it!!!! I politely told him I was not intending to have a political conversation with him and then walked out of the room. The nurse handed him his discharge paperwork and he walked out. I think he came in just to show off his minimal symptoms to prove that the virus wasn't that bad. There was a patient in the next room with an oxygen saturation of 55 but I didn't bother telling him. That's not a hill I'm going to die on to convince some jerk of facts he'll never believe.

He confirmed she had COVID and admitted her to the hospital until she gave birth, but she insisted it was a hoax and ended up checking herself out AMA, but not before she spat in the face of the nurse, who coincidentally had just completed chemo. That was near the beginning of the pandemic, and I'm so curious what happened to that lady. The nurse is okay, thank goodness.

    Sometimes they would but honestly, sometimes they are so used to shitty people that it becomes a regular thing. Also, a lot of the time people just don't want to take the time to deal with calling the police, waiting for them to come, then all of the crap that comes after when a lot of the time the person who assaulted them ends up getting in minimal or no trouble.

    Well, this happened in the UK, at the beginning, and the person who was spat at, died. In the news, it said they were looking for the perpetrator for manslaughter. But I don't know how hte sotry ended. I do know that I would sue naybody who knows he/she is positiv and still comes to work or similar and infects me. Probably won't come to much becuase how could I prove it, but at least they woudl get the letter that I pressed charges.

    Just think for a moment. Places like these are normally safe BECAUSE people wear protective gear. Covid has been downplayed to the point even those who know its real don't take precautions seriously enough. If the situation described were Ebola, I think you wouldn't think the lab to be safe just because its a lab, but you'd think those people to be reckless, dangerous and posed a risk of outbreak, and you'd be right. Because they ARE being reckless, dangerous and DO pose a risk of outbreak.

    People are idiots, but the media and the government's don't help, either. People believe (because it has been repeated a million times) a negative test is "safe": "I tested negative six months ago so I'm OK". But the only thing a negative test proves is that you didn't have the virus there and then, and not even 100%. If you caught the virus the previous day it may not appear in the test. Also, you can test negative one day and catch it the following day... Just act sensibly, protect yourself and others and try not to be an idiot. What do these people think is killing thousands of people all over the world? Or do they think the deaths are fake, too? I have doubts about many things related to the pandemic, but why anybody doubts the existence of the virus is totally beyond my understanding.

    Doctors Are Sharing What Happened When They Diagnosed Covid-19 Deniers With Covid-19 (30 Stories) Physician here. The willful cognitive dissonance is real. It never ceases to amaze me how many patients will refuse assistance from me to register to get vaccinated, make claims that vaccines are harmful, but then accept my medical care on anything else that suits their whim. Patients absolutely have autonomy to refuse care, but why would you continue to see a physician and accept their medical advice and care if you think they would simultaneously recommend something to you that would be harmful? I've posed this question to patients who are vaccine hesitant: "Why would you let me manage your diabetes and hypertension if you think I would harm you by recommending vaccinations?" You cannot get any kind of thoughtful response aside from, "I just don't want to be vaccinated."

    Sometimes you have good reasons. My grandmother is 96yo and a former medical worker. She weight 35kg, she's still living at home, she isolate herself from the virus very well and she don't want the vaccine because if she have any side effect from it it could kill her more likely than the virus himself because she's quarantined since the beggining of the Covid. It makes sense to me. She's not antivax or a conspiracy believer, she's an educated former health worker who is perfectly able to take decisions for herself.

    I doubt the authenticity of this particular story. High-flow oxygen is not delivered via nasal cannula. High-flow oxygen is administered via a non-rebreather mask. If a patient were in such a need for a level of oxygen that they would have died within minutes (clear visual indicators that the body is compensating ie cyanosis, pursed lips, tripoding, etc), a nasal cannula would have been ineffective. They would have required a non-rebreather, but most likely intubation.

Obviously, there’s no way they had COVID despite coming in to the ER for shortness of breath, cough, and fevers. When I mentioned that their wife who was several rooms down also had COVID, their response was: oh, that makes sense because she always gets sick. When I asked how it made sense that they wouldn’t have COVID with the same symptoms I was told that it was because they were overall healthy and only took their mask off to eat and drink in the casino

    I have treated a young male in our ICU with critical COVID19 with severe diabetic ketoacidosis. He did not believe in insulin (yes, you are reading this right) or other antidiabetics, even though insulin is inexpensive in our country. He tried to treat his type 2 diabetes with herbs, his HbA1C (the lab value showing the state of his diabetes on the longer run) was off the roof. He did not vaccinate (he was offered), did not wear a mask, did not distance, and did not believe in any of this coronabullshit. Most of this information was obtained from his 20 year old daughter, as he was quite disoriented at presentation and was intubated urgently. She was sobbing through the phone every day for 1.5 months until he died. I held the phone with his daughter on call to his ears multiple times when he was still intubated but his mind cleared up and his sedation was optimal. I was quite convinced that he realised his mistake on the ventilator, with lines and tubes inserted into his body everywhere and in his last clear moments, when his mind allowed, but I cannot be absolutely sure. I often think about the last conversation and last mental images people have before their death.

    Very sad and very frustrating. It's so hard to read these stories of people still not believing Covid is real when they are being intubated bcs they can't breathe. And the doctors and nurses have to suffer along with them. These stories of covid deniers show us the power of sources like Fox News and InfoWars, certain religious figures and churches, Tr**p and his minions lying about the pandemic from day one. Some might say these covid deniers are stupid but i wouldn't call them stupid; i'd say they have been grossly misled and are ignorant of the truth.

    I've been confrontational to these patients out of respect for my ICU colleagues and nurses. They put their lives on the line for stupidity. Essentially I ask all these patients to cure heart disease, stroke, ulcerative colitis and crohn's since they've figured out COVID is fake. I ask them if they have any thoughts on recent stenting medications or immunomodulatory meds. If they're aware of any medications down the pipeline since they're ahead of me and have more knowledge than me. I also ask them how well they did in math in school so I could better understand probabilities.

She was scared, wanted to know exactly how her chances were, how long it would take to get healthy, if we were doing everything we could to make sure she'd be fine... It was only after her passing that colleagues who knew her told me she'd been a vocal Covid denier. She must have made a 180 once she experienced the symptoms herself.

    Had multiple patients go “this is just the flu I’ll be better in a few days” many of them died. Not a patient but had a family member demand to visit their son (a minor) we had to let them. Explained that they had Covid and wear protective equipment. They said they didn’t need it because Covid doesn’t exist.... they were admitted ~3 weeks later. Can’t win with some people.

    Not a doctor but an EMT. Said patient had already been diagnosed and was being transferred to a different hospital. During the trip he kept insisting he “wasn’t sick!” And at one point even tried to rip off my respirator.... so yeah.... fun times

    Possibly off their face on meds. Some people do the oddest things that are totally out of their normal character.

    I was telling my employee (who's a covid denier) how my cousins husband died of covid unexpectedly. Her response was that they labeled it covid but it was probably something else... Didn't know how to respond so I just left

    Yeah I've heard that so many times, that no one has really died of Covid. And I cannot believe the Republican trash that continues to promote this harmful content.

    Those not willing to get vaccinated should be rounded up to protect the rest of us.

    RN here. We have had many patients diagnosed, some entire families. One such family refused to adhere to recommendations re masking, etc., and both kids and parents were diagnosed. One child was 11 months old. Makes me sad and very mad at the same time. They are all symptomatic.

    I was in a ward for new mums 3 weeks ago and a girl was asking to be released with her new baby that was hours old and hadn't fed yet as she was scared about Covid and the midwife said to her if she was so worried why wasn't she wearing her mask and the girl just sat stumped. Still didn't put on a mask.

    “Just sat stumped.” People like that need to answer for their stupidity. Not just sit there drooling.

    One of my brother's friends is a denier idiot and she caught it after she kept meeting up with people at cafes and parties and whatnot Had mild symptoms only and was out of the house within a week Another girl in my friend group had it, can't smell, can't taste anything anymore. Still cries about how "completely locked out from everyone and everything" she is, even though she never followed any rules anyway AND STILL DOESN'T and is convinced that feeling sO depressed is way worse. Why boohoo, shut up.

    It was my ex-doctor that was feeding me conspiracy theories. He said that the American government was killing doctors who spoke up about COVID not being real.

    Not a doctor, but my youngest daughter is an RN at a busy medical center. She told me about a guy who had Covid, but kept denying it, even as his organs were shutting down. That was a super rough day for her.

    Back in the summer, we had a guy come in for bad COVID-19 pneumonia. Both him and his wife denied it was COVID-19. He was feeling sick but still decided to go to the casino. He was found unresponsive a few hours later by his wife in the hotel. The guy was intubated and died a week later.

    My manager didn't take it seriously and kept going about her usual routine. She went out partying with her friends in Dallas and went to the casino a lot with her boyfriend. She got Covid and had to be quarantined for two weeks with her daughters. Her four year old daughter was really upset because she couldn't see her grandma. My mother and my manager's mother, who I also work with, had to take on manager duties for the two weeks. She still gets sick now from time to time because she has a weakened immune system.

    Some dude in our neighbourhood said it was a hoax. Refused to wear a mask. Got it. Refused to take the prescribed medicines and took medications HE thought would help. Had to be scolded by his whole family to set him right.
