"Slowly"? The bronchial spasms were very sudden, so this would imply pneumonia which sets in some days after ILI infection. An ICU can't deal with it? What good are they?

They were not allowed to intubate by the designated advocate. Me. Once they were released to give narcotics, he died almost immediately, as expected, "into the arms of Morpheus."

Naloxone wasn't allowed in the hospital pharmacy? Or did they "not notice" he had quit breathing? Sounds like a malpractice suit!

You misunderstand. What do you think happens when the patient becomes a hospice status? Increasing amounts of narcotic is given and they drift off, whether intentional or not.

Apparently so; I thought you said ICU. My grandmother was on hospice. She had to be temporarily taken off hospice when she needed medical treatment, esp. hospitalization.

I did say ICU, but as you know, no adequate treatment was being given to COVID patients. Once the ok was given for narcotics, I knew he was done.
