| Abstrakt: | Though recent developments in the management of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have resulted in significant progress, its continued persistence demands continued consideration both of larger scale public health factors as well as individual patient management. We present a case that provides a broad perspective across several issues within both categories, of a morbidly obese 34-year-old unvaccinated female presenting with respiratory distress secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia, managed through remdesivir therapy. Though this case presents an example of successful management, it nonetheless emphasizes the demand for a renewed focus on vaccine hesitancy and obesity as public health issues, particularly within the context of the pandemic.
