People with COVID-19 should not be kept bed bound their entire time in the Hospital, it might kill them.

When my 87 year old Mother survived her bout with pneumonia in 2014 it was because the Hospital physical therapist suggested Mom exercise. I looked at the therapist as if she had lost her marbles. She then explained that even sitting upright in a chair can help someone with pneumonia, otherwise they continue to weaken, sink into their hospital bed, and they succumb to the build up of fluids and mucous in their chest.

Mom only weighed around 86 pounds at that time, but it took the two of us several minutes just to get my Mother's jello like body in the upright position on the side of her bed. We then held her up so we could move her to a chair next to her Hospital bed. 

Normally, Nurses can't do this somewhat time consuming process process because they cannot leave the patient alone in their seated chair due to the patient possibly falling out of the chair.

Fortunata Machi's 2014 recovery from her flu/pneumonia began after being placed in an upright Hospital chair.

My mother's 2014 rebound from flu / pneumonia seemed miraculous. From looking as if she was on death's door, so jello like it took myself and the physical therapist a couple of minutes just to get her upright on the side of her Hospital bed. We then moved Mom to an upright chair and at first she could barely hold herself up. 

After about 5 minutes Mom started looking around. At about 10 minutes she seemed to be getting her old energy back. After about 20 to 25 minutes, Mom actually stood up with very little help from me and even took a couple of steps. From then on she just got better and better, even after being put back in her Hospital bed.

When we hear about all the elderly on ventilators who are Hospital bed bound and who remain Hospital bed bound, not all were meant to die, but many may die simply because they were not put into an upright chair a couple of times a day as a form of very mild exercise and as a way to help clear their chest area of fluid build up.
