Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My first thoughts on this: Have y'all ever had to share a hospital room for days, weeks, with a horrible roommate? One who cries out at night from pain or dementia, and won't let you sleep? One who harasses you by day? One who you're stuck with, because staff can't or won't move you?
I'm not saying this was right - it wasn't! But... there may be more to this story.

I don't know what them having Covid has to do with anything.

It could be relevant because it meant they were stuck with each other - COVID patients can't room with non-Covid patients, or roam the halls to get away from each other.
It could also be relevant because (and I'm no expert here!) I should think that reduced oxygen levels would lead to erratic behavior. Perhaps neither of these patients were quite in their right minds?
@AmyTheBruce Cohorts in the hospital wouldn't have low oxygen levels. Really any patient in the hospital wouldn't have a low oxygen level. If a patient has an insufficient oxygen level, there would be caregivers in the room trying to stabilize them.
Covid is not the only reason patients are confined to their rooms. Right now, even non-Covid patients are not allow to "roam around". They're not even allow to leave their rooms for any test or procedure that can be done in the room.
I think it's sensationalism. Just more click-bait in this click-bait world we live in now.
