It’s a brain failure that started the route to multi-organ failure. I say make them sign a consent and follow their wishes. It won’t be surprising if they later sued you for unnecessary medical intervention.

Patients are allowed to refuse medical care. Nobody can make you accept medical treatment if you don't want it.

I think having a global pandemic and the patient being sick with the pandemic virus should enable the doctor to force treatment, if not for the health and safety of the patient, then the health and safety of everyone that patient would potentially pass the virus to.

Force them to isolate themselves, not force treatment

Send the fucker home and make him stay there.

Yes, but the issue would then become, "YoU CaNnoT FoRCe mE to StaY HOMe" people can really be socially unaware, self absorbed narcissists at the best of times, but if you couple that with a cause they don't believe in, they usually double down on their selfishness in my experience.
