With a mortality rate of 70%+ I would question the thought of having to going through that procedure. Surgeons are being traumatised with seeing such a high rate of deaths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 only 80 plus die..on ventilators.. That is what we were told when my brother went on on and indeed he did die.. There are also nasty sequels from them when people survive.. People have to be put n a coma to be able to go on them and many thngs can go wrong.&00 ventlators means 480 deaths...Pretty scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteforron Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I have heard if under 60 about 30% survival rate 60+ 20%. All I can say is they will not snake any tube down my throat. I have hydroxicoloquine, z pack and zinc. I'll will take my chances at home. Hospitals is where people die. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside7 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Sadly the Ventilator is not turning out to be the fix one expected, quite the opposite As health officials around the world push to get more ventilators to treat coronavirus patients, some doctors are moving away from using the breathing machines when they can. The reason: Some hospitals have reported unusually high death rates for coronavirus patients on ventilators, and some doctors worry that the machines could be harming certain patients" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a made up story. That's REALLY happening in the USA right now. The body bags were shipped by King county Wa. In what they said was a mistake. The funding for Federal Indian Health Board for the covid pandemic was passed by the House of Reps but stalled for more than a month in some legal dispute. The Federal Gov started distributing Billions of dollars Tuesday to Native American Tribal government. Read more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high pressure needed to force oxygen into the lungs does permanent damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
