Last week I was supervising EMTs on a home visit service & a woman called to request her father be seen. He was in his 90s, confused, no other symptoms. Only when I called to confirm the address she mentioned she had COVID, but she "didn't think that was it."
When the EMT got there, the patient had a heart rate in the 120s. He had spent the day in bed. He was #COVID positive. We sent him straight to the emergency room.
He was admitted to ICU and passed away 72 hours later.

It isn't the family's fault that they couldn't protect him. @CDCgov @ashishkjha, @CDCdirector, health pundits, and elected officials are all responsible for propagating misinformation downplaying COVID. The effect: we throw older adults, like my patient, under the bus.
