So, an extended family member is on day 6 of a covid infection. He also has pneumonia and a kidney infection. Yesterday he was given the Regeneron antibody treatment, but it was delivered subcutaneously into his stomach instead if via IV.
What reasons can you think of that would have led them to go the SC route rather than IV?
This morning he spiked a fever and O2 dropped. Dont know how low. But they admitted him to the COVID ward. They were able to get the O2 back up and the fever down and are in wait and see mode now. He's 50, overweight and doesn't have great lungs due to long term highway work when he was younger.
