very sorry to hear this.

Well put

That says it right. Sorry for loss; politics don't matter in life and death with pain and suffering. RIP.

Very sorry to hear of you good Friend Doheny.
May you and his family find peace in his memory.

No matter your stance on this Covid Crap Show, losing someone close is painful

Sorry to hear this, have a friend that lost one family member with another currently fighting it in the hospital.

[DaveInOroValley]

I am very sorry to hear this. Godspeed and blue skies for your friend.

I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV, but it seems like the prognosis for anyone put on a vent is very poor. VERY. And when I hear about this crazy rush to make them far and wide, I get freaked out. ~70% of people intubated are dying on them.

I understand that some docs are now rethinking the protocols for intubation for Covid, realizing that maybe it can do more harm than good.

There are no easy answers I suppose. But when I hear ventilator or intubation, I get chills down my spine now.

What do think about recent comments about hypoxia and that being a more important modality?
