just have time for a quick reply on the ventilator/treatments.

Ventilating:
Here’s a video from Dr Seheult, that addresses venting. The daily CV thread tracked him early on.
he produced this video Jan 28 that explains the basis for deciding to ventilate and the ventilation procedures developed in the US since 2000:

In the first part of this video he explains that they delay venting people until they start wearing themselves out with fast but ineffective breathing. About 7 minutes into it, he describes the microclotting even in avioli.

And in this April 2020 video he asks if mechanical ventilation can make some patients worse. He gets a bit technical and describes the “H’ pneumonia and “L” pneumonias of Covid and how they require separate approaches to ventilation. He also points to several studies that show that back in May, they were still trying to figure out best protocol:

one of the biggest problems with ventilators were lack of trained nursing staff (bringing in student nurses not trained in ICU/ventilator equipment/alarms) and lack of ventilators. I vaguely remember at one point NYC was experimenting with putting multiple people on one ventilator just using extra hoses - didn’t work so well.
A new CDC report detailed 469 cases of COVID-19 linked to an outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts between July 3 and July 17.
Of the infections, 74% occurred in fully vaccinated people who had one of the three FDA-emergency approved vaccines and 80% had symptoms.
Just saying... tell me again why natural immunity is not better a experimental drug?
