Larry Brown is tested by Dr. Jerry Smartt, Monday, Aug. 17, 2020, in Carmel, Ind. While hospitalized because of COVID-19 starting in March, doctors moved Brown to the ICU and started him on the ventilator while grappling with how to treat him. They tried the common antibiotic azithromycin, but his pneumonia grew worse. They administered the malaria treatment touted by President Donald Trump, hydroxychloroquine, but saw no progress. They put him in a medically induced coma, and attached him to an ECMO machine, which essentially did the job of his lungs by transferring oxygen into his blood. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)
