Re: “Steele wrote in his final blog post on August 17, accompanied by a picture of him hooked up to what appears to be a ventilator.”

I doubt that someone can make a blog post while hooked up to a ventilator...okay, went to the link — that’s an oxygen mask, not a ventilator (tube that goes down the throat).

You're right about ventilators. Person has to be sedated when on ventilator bc the machine breathes for them.
