More Covid Fear Porn IMHO.

Don’t most hospitals have their own institutional sized oxygen concentrator that is built in, to supply oxygen to every bed, every exam and OR room etc.?. Pretty much the only time they use oxygen tanks or individual concentrators is for transporting between rooms?

And even if they are using the tanks, don’t they have any welding gas suppliers in Los Angeles? Here is a dirty little secret: Medical oxygen usually comes out of the same machines that produce welding oxygen.

Yes, comes from a wall unit. This is about like th IV SHORTAGES during the Swine Flu. So they can RAISE THE COST. A $5.00 IV UNIT HAS BECOME UP TO $700 A UNIT.

"Normal" hospital O2 per-patient demand is 6 L/minute. This is what the supply was sized for. Advanced covid patients are requiring 60 L/m.
