There is a hospital in italy where 100% of patients with cover 19 on ventilators have died and they don’t know why. Things like that ARE scary.

Since ventilators are pretty scarce, just how many patients is that?????
Kind’a puts a damper on the red wine, bio flavanoid, anti-oxidant hype, eh ?
One thing about the virus, when it gets into the lungs to the point where a ventilator is required, it has you pretty sick by that time. Just speculating but in the US we will likely do better at saving some people on ventilators, but Italy was over run and likely did not have round the clock care which is also important for patients on ventilators. (Some need to have their lungs suctioned to remove liquid that builds up, for example)
Easy answer. Either their equipment sterilization process for the ventilators is flawed or they are using the equipment improperly.
The medical community has made recent discoveries that certain brands/types of ventilators had inhalation pressures that were difficult to adjust and were causing issues with patients.
