When you have to resort to name calling, your position is weak. It's also rude.
Anyway. You're missing the thread of your own argument. Half of covid patients on respirators died of *bacterial* pneumonia.
It is therefore standard to prescribe antibiotics to prevent secondary *bacterial* infections for viral infections.
Additionally, azithromycin, which is typically prescribed, has known antiviral effects in addition to being an antibiotic. That's why if you have the flu or a bad virus, your doctor might prescribe zpac.

The study last week found that half of ventilated covid patients died of bacterial pneumonia.
Covid patients were not treated with early antibiotics which would have prevented these secondary bacterial infections. The early official guidelines were to do nothing. Send to the ER if they can't breathe.

I'm sorry about your relative, it's terrible. They were putting people on vents earlier than standard care for any other virus.

I wasn’t referring to the study. I was just pointing out that antivirals are given for the flu, not antibiotics.

In Quebec people were intubated before undergoing any routine surgery or in-hospital procedure. Think about how shocking that is.
