He suffered, but was able to come home. He had been home for 2 weeks, but still told her every day that he felt like crap and felt like he needs to be re-admitted to the hospital. Caller stated that he was now 69 years old and was stumbling in his apartment, but he was 68 years old when he got Covid. Caller verified that he received both doses of the vaccine. Stated that he got his vaccine a month before her. He got his 1st dose in Mar2021, then about 3 weeks after his 2nd dose he was feeling sick but didn't say anything. Then he actually got really sick. The caller stated that she called to check on him and he picked up the phone, but it fell on the floor because he couldn't hold onto it. Caller stated that it sounded like he was in a tunnel. She went over to his house and he was sitting in the recliner in a pull up with no other clothes on because he woke up sick and couldn't get to the bathroom so he had an accident. He tried to get to the kitchen to get juice, but he fell. Stated that she walked him to the bathroom with double gloves and cleaned him up and dressed him in clean pajamas, and asked him if he thought it was time to go to the ER, but he refused.

The triage nurse went out and told her and her daughter to go get tested because the doctor said he had Covid Pneumonia. He was admitted to the hospital, but they weren't allowed to go in the hospital to see him. Caller tried to determine when her brother got sick based on when her mom was sick and in the hospital, but she wasn't able to figure it out. The best she could figure was that her mom went to the hospital around 06Jul2021 or 07Jul2021 and she was there 2 weeks before she died. She thought her brother started getting sick about 4-5 days after their mom got sick, but she really wasn't sure. Stated that she brought her brother to the hospital and that's where he was originally admitted, but they sent him to Hospital because they didn't have anymore Covid beds. He was kept in Withheld for 7 days. She kept calling to check on him about 3 times a day because she wasn't allowed to visit, but on day 8 when she called she was told that he was discharged. Stated that she was upset because she was his ride and no one called her. Stated that no one called her when he was transferred either. But he called her and said that he was home, so she went to his house to check on him. Caller stated that he told her how bad he still felt. She went out and bought his prescriptions, some water, Pedialyte, and fruit. Stated that the next day he fell down the wall while he was trying to regulate the thermostat on his A/C. Stated that he has lost weight to the point that his jeans and belt don't fit anymore. He kept saying that he didn't feel good. He was taking his medication, and went to his appointment like he was supposed to. Caller stated that she told him to ask his doctor if he could be re-admitted because he felt crappy and didn't feel safe at home, but instead they set him up with home health. Stated that the nurse came all hooded up and gloved up, in like a chemical suit. He told the nurse that he felt like he needed to go back to the hospital because felt like he still had Covid and she said that she couldn't help him then, and she left. She left everything she brought with her there, all the equipment she had, and when she took off her suit she put it in a black garbage bag in her trunk and she left. He went back to the doctor's and told the doctor the same thing again, but the doctor changed something with his meds and sent him home. Stated that no one from home health ever came back.
