What part of my comment makes you say that? I wanted to give you the best information I could give to help you not make a bad decision with horse paste. Instead you become snarky. Is it now offensive for trying to help?
I can’t even fathom the anxiety and grief you are feeling. I will add you and your daughter to my prayer list.
I’ve already used it twice, along with my wife. Feel free to fear what you want but I’m fine. If I get flu like symptoms I’ll use it again. Hospitals are germ traps, ventilators kill people ( my BIL) for one. I’ll go down with my horse. Doctors practice every day. Patients die once.
I think what most people here don’t realize about ventilators is that in most cases they are a last resort. I’ve been involved (health POA) in decisions regarding such for my Dad (3x - damn, he was tough) and involved in the situation overall and advising my Mom with regard to my brother when he had flu-complication pneumonia. You weigh the risks and none of the options are really good. Which is “least bad”.
