You omitted the CDC's official standard of care:
Mild to Moderate Disease
"Patients with a mild clinical presentation (absence of viral pneumonia and hypoxia) may not initially require hospitalization, and most patients will be able to manage their illness at home. The decision to monitor a patient in the inpatient or outpatient setting should be made on a case-by-case basis. This decision will depend on the clinical presentation, requirement for supportive care, potential risk factors for severe disease, and the ability of the patient to self-isolate at home. Patients with risk factors for severe illness (see People Who Are at an Increased Risk for Severe Illness) should be monitored closely given the possible risk of progression to severe illness, especially in the second week after symptom onset."
And this is for a virus where early treatment is absolutely critical to halt progression before it replicates. The CDC's early treatment strategy has worked so well with hundreds of thousdands of needless deaths (estimates of 200,000 to 500,000). Yes, even green tea might have helped more than nothing.
"Go home, take Tylenol and come back if you're really sick." Congratulations CDC and Dr. Fauci! |
