My father is missing at my table.

I am afraid it has dominated my life.

My father passed away from Covid-19 and he was turned away not once but three times with pneumonia. The third time he was not sick enough for the hospital to admit. When he was admitted Remdesivir was not available right away. We had to advocate. So to see the president of United States get into a helicopter and flown to Walter Reed for observation and treated immediately broke my heart. My father was given an albuterol which was not to be bought home. The numerous mistakes hospitals are making are for overworked or not fully staffed doctors and nurses. Take precaution; speak up because you do not know if you are lucky enough to make it back out. I had to watch my father through a glass pass away alone. If only he was treated sooner we would not know he did not have the luxury treatment the president got because the government bought it all. While some hospitals have close to none Trump got some.
