A COVID-19 treatment for those suffering from mild to moderate symptoms may soon be administered right in patients homes.
The Southwestern Michigan Community Ambulance Service and its emergency medical services team are working together with area health systems, like Spectrum Health Lakeland, to bring a monoclonal antibody treatment to COVID-19 patients in higher risk categories to keep them from developing serious symptoms. The treatment type is allowed under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, by way of an Emergency Use Authorization. We got a call about a month ago to seriously take this into consideration by the state. [There was a] request to all EMS agencies to become active in this, said SMCAS Executive Director Brian Scribner.

“I didn’t wanna take up a bed when I knew that if I could go home and get better that’s where I wanted to be, she said. It was scary, it was scary for a couple of days.”
Woods, who has severe asthma, said she had severe joint pain, fever, headache and shortness of breath.
But after visiting the emergency room twice, Ascencion River District Hospital recommended her for monoclonal antibody therapy. Within two hours of the referral, Tri-Hospital EMS had contacted her, and a paramedic visited her home to administer the therapy.
A COVID-19 Treatment That Might Save Your Life
Of all the luck, I worried with the rest of us for a year, finally got my first shot, and then tested positive for COVID-19 a week later. It was March 24
th. I felt that thing in my chest, sort of like bronchitis, and went to be tested right away. The physician’s assistant came back into the exam room dressed in a hazmat suit and said, “Oh, yeah. You’re positive. There’s no doubt you have COVID-19.”

I was skeptical, so I called my friend, who is in the medical field and who I know had beaten the virus.
