Venting someone as a literal last resort was one of the biggest changes made from the first round of this thing but so far nothing has prevented people from reaching that point. First everyone was on HCQ/Zithro with zinc/vit c/vit d supps. Then it was remdezivir. Now it's ivermectin or one of a slew of other meds or combinations.

So far nothing has prevented people from hitting the ICU and requiring intubation. I know y'all like to make it a black and white subject around here like there's a choice between pills and some iv medicine or a ventilator as treatment, but that's not how it goes lol.

I got nothing on the visitation though. I work ICU and we already had visitor limitations before the whole thing. Never anything that prevented end of life visitation etc though.
