On a separate note: my wife's coworker has a grandmother who is 81 who is dying of COVID. She has been in the hospital for several days, but is not improving despite prophylactic IV antibiotics, fluids and other therapies. She is on 10-12 lpm of oxygen on a non-rebreather, but her o2 sat is just getting worse. They want to intubate her, but she is refusing. The family is going to try to go to Southern California and visit her to convince her to keep fighting, but they won't be able to visit because she is in isolation. Frankly, she is probably not going to make it, even if they tubed her.

My mom went in a similar fashion. She was 79 when she caught pneumonia but despite our best efforts, she was determined to let go. One of the last laughs we had was when I said "Well, you're going out the same way you lived your whole life, totally in charge."
