I'm very sorry to hear that, I hope for a good recovery for your cousin!My cousin in MI is in ICU in a ventilator as of last night. Confirmed COVID.

So, when the ambulance picked up my cousin his wife was not allowed to go with him. They didnāt know (wouldnāt say?) which hospital they were going to take him to when they left.
his wife has not been allowed to see him in the ICU. The only communication sheās had was, āheās been intubated. Itās bad.ā

Thats BS. I can understand the quarantine but not the SS squirrel routine.
COVID-19 Case Count in North Carolina is a state website that posts daily reports cases, tested, hospitalized, and deaths.10,650,00 approx people in NC. 1120 positive tests as of this writing. 0.01% of the population. State claimed last week some time, 30,000 swabs, 15,000 tested, less than 800 positives at that point in time.

For those of you upset about the "no visitors" policy, I understand where you're coming from, and couldn't imagine not being able to see someone I love when they're sick or dying, but on a vent there is a much greater risk of aerosolizing viral particles. Most of these units are on lockdown and hospitals don't have the extra PPE to dress out family members. It's also a liability having family in that environment.
This is going to sound grim, but if they're bad off and on a vent, they are paralyzed and sedated. There's no communicating with them. They wont hear you, they can't respond. The only thing you're going to get out of it is the anguish of seeing them turned over face down with lines coming out of them.
I hope if I end up like that, no one I loves sees it, I'd want their last memories of me to be who I was in life, not how I died.
I'm actually not surprised.....I will have to say that I am surprised by the number of people that know someone with this disease.
