In Florida, in hospital, nothing given for covid

Posted , 1 user is following.

Last week, I caught covid and have no idea how. I don't go out much. I could not stop throwing up and finally went to the ER at our local hospital. They gave me four meds through IV that did finally settle my stomach. They admitted me and I was in there for three days. They gave me my regular medications, but NOTHING for the actual covid, no remdesivir, no z-pack, no antivirals, not one thing. They did give me three shots in the stomach so I wouldn't get blood clots. I asked for something for the covid and at least a decongestant. I was so tired but couldn't sleep because I felt like my body had just shut down. They said that in the state of Florida they let it run its course and their course of treatment is "management of symptoms." I couldn't believe this. NOTHING for the covid. Can anybody tell me why not? I'm home now and still feel awful and fun over. I've read how people go to the hospital and are able to go home the next day feeling alright. They sent me home with some prescriptions, but again, NOTHING for the covid. Why is there no treatment for covid in Florida???
