They frankly told him that once he needed it it would not go to him anyway. He understands what they are saying. He must isolate and I guess die alone? This confounds me. Yes palliative meds given. I have made sure everything I am reporting is confirmed by family.

Logistically trying to figure out how to get him home. Need a “dirty ambulance “ but they don’t know when it will be available. It’s more surreal by the moment.

Add a fleet of ambulances to the need. They need to have separate ambulances for #coronavirus patients obviously.

I’m sharing from NY the hot zone. This was predicted. It’s just happening faster bc NYC is so over populated & health systems and hospitals are taxed on a regular day

Yes family would love home hospice care. One problem. No #PPE so how will that work? He’s got the virus and highly contagious.

Some doctors are refusing to work are we to expect hospice workers to risk lives without proper #ppe

I will continue to update as I learn more. Family is scrambling to make arrangements and as can be predicted hitting a wall.

Update: set for release tomorrow morning. Unclear of how they will transport as logistics are a continued issue. Will update as soon as new information is available and reliable.

Everyone has been incredibly lovely I cannot express my gratitude at this difficult moment. I’m doing my best to get more information. Will post as soon as discharge orders are available. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Anyone who knows Brooklyn hospitals will understand the day to day understaffing & overcrowding. Our friend now has roommate w same fate. Both #coronavirus positive both will not be able to receive a ventilator. They are quarantined but apparently every floor is #COVID19 patients

This being a logistical nightmare, He’s discharged but again Brooklyn Hospitals have astronomical wait times. Whatever transportation must be arranged can take 12 hours they are being told. They have not been told how they are transporting. This could take a while.

He is getting much worse. Gasping for air. No word on anything since morning. I fear he will, like his roommate perish there. It’s draconian.

My dad has been on the phone with him throughout. It’s absolutely surreal and my heart is breaking. This situation is something I never conceived of. I don’t remember the last time I took an actual breath.

No news. No developments. Can’t imagine what is happening. Not released from hospital, not receiving treatment. Our hospitals are no longer saving people just waiting for them to die? Very frustrating and tremendous sense of helplessness for his family.

Update: Today son of man at Lutheran has also tested positive for #coronavirus he’s 56 and quarantined, thankfully doing ok right now. This poor family.

Update: Miracles happen and at 84 people in distress RECOVER. On Tuesday #COVID19 positive son went to the nursing home his father was transferred to. Walked in and signed his father out. The 84 yr old was in a dark room, filthy and hungry. A nurse was hired to assist him

He lost 40 pounds and is RECOVERING NICELY AT HOME. It’s a stunning turn of events and I cannot imagine how many protocols were broken to have been able to sign him out. But as of today my dad’s friend is doing much better. #lightAtTheEndOfTunnel
