And if he did die it a heart attack the hypercoag state from the virus likely played a part. Therefore covid contributed to his death

No, that’s not completely true. Perhaps at your institution, but not all.

The last time I recertified and straight from the AHA ACLS algorithm website today - provide 30 compressions to 2 breaths. Unless you have rewritten the ACLS algorithms and not told the AHA? even more true if advanced airway support is present and I would be very surprised if a net did not have a bag valve mask or even LMA available.

That is incorrect. He is EMS. His license specifies ACLS. Part of that algorithm is ventilation.

The amount of medical misinformation is staggering. Please don’t add to it

The amount of medical misinformation is staggering. You’re right. Even from some physicians. It takes a long time for the literature to get out.
