they were hacking CPAP machines here in NYC and exploding people's lungs

I think you mean ventilators. CPAP isn't likely to do that since it'd just blow out of their mouth.

I remember some of these claims though. The idea being that patients' O2 was so low and the ventilator apparently doing nothing that they kept increasing the pressure to try to force more oxygen in. Which, considering that COVID apparently causes thrombi to form in the lungs in some people, you can't get more air in if there's no blood flow.

That said, like you, I'm suspicious that when this is all said and done we're going to find that 99% of this wasn't just a power grab, it was a money grab.

they were intubating with the rigs! my anesthesiologist buddy can confirm.

all you really need are inhaled or systemic steroids (even prednisone!) and the Dr. Zelenko (0 deaths!) protocol to manage:

Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days

Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days

Zinc sulfate 220mg (or the equivalent of 50mg elemental zinc) once a day for 5 days

  1. I also suggest the following prophylactic regimen for very high risk individuals:

Hydroxychloroquine 200mg once a day for 5 days, and then 1 pill a week until immunity can be shown or a vaccine becomes available.

Zinc Sulfate 220mg (or the equivalent of 50mg elemental zinc) once a day for 5 days, and then 1 pill a week until immunity can be shown or a vaccine becomes available.

The amusing thing about this is that it's based on the flawed reasoning that ventilation is an adequate solution for an underlying pathology that doesn't lend itself well to ventilation (e.g. thrombi after the disease takes hold).

Also, along with your suggestions, I'd recommend this video by Dr. Seheult on his daily routine (vitamin D3 and NAC appearing to be useful). Some additional discussion of his as well on why NAC might work to undo potential vascular damage caused by SARS-CoV-2.
