An insider’s look in a hospital’s ICU during COVID-19

WAXAHACHIE – The last place Ellis County resident Andrea Pylant wanted to spend Christmas Day was at the hospital. 

Her longtime boyfriend had fallen ill though – fortunately not with COVID-19.

While Pylant was at the hospital staying with her boyfriend in ICU, she looked around at the inner workings of what was going on, particularly as it related to the current pandemic.

She said she knew nurses and doctors were unable to speak about the situation freely. 

She even remembered stories where some had lost their jobs when telling the truth about what is going on, stories from the frontline in the war against the COVID nightmare.

Pylant’s boyfriend was admitted to the hospital with COPD issues. 

He was in ICU three days, and during that time Pylant said three people died just in ICU at this one hospital in Ellis County from COVID-19.

“The fact this is a China-born illness, and no one seems to be able to stop whoever is doing this is unbelievable. 

“And now, we are being warned of a second more deadly strain,” Pylant said of the experience. 

“One of the nurses said there was obviously a second strain, but no one is 100-percent verifying that.”

Pylant also said she was told 95-percent of those dying in the hospitals of COVID-19 right now – are men. 

Whether this is a COVID-19 old or new strain – the fact is people are dying.

“So now, is this vaccine for the old strain?” she said. 

“Surprise, now there is a new strain. Doesn’t anyone see the inconsistencies of all this?”

Pylant’s boyfriend was also given two COVID tests – one when he entered the hospital, which came back negative with results returned in a short time.

“For some reason, the second COVID test the hospital made him undergo – also negative – took much longer to come back, and I was not allowed to see him until the second set of results came back. Why did he need another test?”

Pylant said because apparently it is standard procedure now for anyone with respiratory symptoms to undergo two COVID-19 tests.

Another eye-opening and terrifying fact Pylant was told by an ICU nurse was only two patients with COVID-19 on a ventilator since November this nurse had seen personally had not died.

And, the COVID-19 patients die alone.

Pylant did confirm that once a patient is on a ventilator, they are unconscious. In that regard the patient does not know they are dying alone.  

However, for the families enduring this grief, it is unbearable.

All bad odds, and Pylant was relieved when her boyfriend was released the day after Christmas to go home to recover.

The sadness and complete feeling of helplessness has not left her though.

Why are so many people dying now – more than before when COVID-19 began? 

Pylant said one of the nurses told her because people are not going to hospital – instead, waiting at home to see how bad they are?

Why?

“Because first-off, some doctors won’t see you until you take a COVID test, and some people get really sick really fast. 

“Some simply think they will get better – and they don’t,” she answered.

Pylant had two acquaintances pass away recently because they did not get help in time

One who died waiting on an ambulance, and the other died being loaded on an ambulance.

“Yes, people are really dying, and by now just about everyone knows someone who has,” Pylant concluded. 

“My heart bleeds for the families who are losing loved ones. 

“Hasn’t anyone noticed this pattern; announcement of COVID coming to America, COVID arriving, fear and mindless lockdown, empty shelves at stores like in a communist country, sudden unrest due to division among Americans, currency shortage, a botched election with rumors of foul play – and now another strain of COVID that was pre-announced.

“It is time we wake up.”
