In the beginning of the pandemic, the disease presented very similarly to ARDS which has a specific ventilator management strategy. Once the virus was better understood to be more of a micro-vascular issue, the general treatment strategy was changed along with the type of vent management.
It's not just "vent = murder". By the time it has progressed to the point of needing a ventilator, the mortality rate is already super high independent of whether they go on a vent or not. In many cases, it just prolongs the inevitable. The decision to intubate usually happens after they are maxed out on high flow oxygen devices.
"We think that mortality for folks that end up on the ventilator with [COVID-19] is going to end up being somewhere between probably 25% up to maybe 50%," Cooke says.
Mortality is people who die, not people who survive.
Not to mention the fact that regressive leftist corruption is rampant in the west, meaning that they could deny responsibility for their deaths by calling the corrupt doctors who sabotaged their medical treatments lone wolves and throwing them under the bus.
Republican Dick Hinch of N.H. died as well. He was just sworn in. https://www.npr.org/2020/12/10/945137222/newly-sworn-in-n-h-gop-house-speaker-dies-of-covid-19-autopsy-shows

Thanks for the info, fren. As always there are nuances and we should be careful not to get caught up in our own narrative
Ivermectin instead of a ventilator.
Fake news. Thisnis my field.
Ventilators even in slow flow settings brutalize the alveolad which arr already damaging
It's like having rotten fabric and putting it in water. It won't get better.
Hence they stopped talking about vents. They know the lawsuits are coming.
They need oxygen. Aka IV oxygen. Not brutalizing damaged lung tissue.
Oxygen is key and thats why zinc ionophores like quercrtin ivermectin or hcq workd well with zinc and vit d vit c.
But a vent is the wrong treatment, they've stopped it because it made cases worse and destroyed peoples lungs.
~15% chance of survival.

The article states they could get it up to as high as 50%
You're reading it backwards.
Mortality is people who die, not people who survive.
Adding to it, this study (done in May) puts the death rate at ~36% of the people who get vents end up dying.

Why can't we use it as an excuse (in Minecraft)?

So five have died in the past month? Of a virus with a 99 percent recovery rate?
Five dead? Seems suspicious.
99.98% for under 70
and all 600lbs of Chris Christie survived
One of the above was a brain aneurysm and another was complications after surgery, iirc.
Yea so was joan rivers
Letlow had a heart attack during surgery and they are saying he died of Covid.
There is a Reddit thread in news that basically rejoiced his covid related death... sickening
6 months ago those would have been called covid deaths
More like 6 weeks ago but yes shocked they didn’t call it covid related
Democratic Doctor! Paid.
It does.
All republicans too?
Yes. Weird, huh?
5 republicans dead
I’m no expert, but that seems very fishy.
This feels like when the SECOND PLANE HIT THE TOWERS....We ARE under attack.
They have meetings and every Republican gets “infected” bit no Dems. Wtf.
