Regarding covid
I am just asking a question as it is my observation and I want an honest answer.
Please tell me why the number of covid deaths in hospital are more than at home.
My mom died due to covid at the age of 54.
She was obese and had mild bronchitis and arthritis.
She was having Spo2 84 when admitted at hospital.Since then her condition deteriorated and she died the third day. I regret taking her to hospital becuase later I heard that people with lower spo2 who stayed at home survived.
Please give an honest answer...I will be grateful

The number of covid deaths in a hospital will be more because more severe cases are admitted in the hospital
The ones at home are usually those who do not require oxygen supplementation
Obesity is one of the risk factors for severe covid
