Unvaxxed Lunch Lady Wants You to See Her COVID Death Spiral

Michelle Fluegge wants everybody to see the photo of her on a ventilator during her very worst days because it shows what can happen if you fail to get vaccinated.

“We had the Delta variant down here six months prior,” Scott later said of Florida. “The lines to the emergency room were insane.” The funeral was on Sept. 30, but Greg had a 104-degree fever that morning. Michelle took him to the ER and he tested positive for COVID-19.Michelle tested positive the next day.The indomitable lunch lady became so weak she could barely get out of bed.

Michelle needed a ventilator, but the hospital had none. The doctors spent three hours trying to find a facility that had one available.Michelle seemed to be minutes from the end when the doctors reported they had finally found a ventilator at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.A helicopter was on the way to make the flight from New Ulm, but there remained a potentially fatal hitch. A man on the gurney beside Michelle had come in ahead of her and was also critically ill with COVID.

Michelle could not have visitors due to COVID, so the family had to bid her farewell via an iPad set next to her ear.“We started to talk to her every day, multiple times,” Scott said. “Right at the end, I remember waking up. I was pretty foggy and everything, but they made me sit up and then they made me cough,” she said.

I'm sure there's an equivalent case of a fully vaccinated person.
