You’re really out of your mind if that is what you believe. Bystander CPR usually is a poor outcome because the arrest to CPR initiation is often a couple minutes and most people have no idea how to give effective CPR. If you do CPR correctly it is almost impossible to last longer that two or three minutes. Every one minute in an arrest that it takes to gain ROSC increases death rate by 10%. And if adequate oxygen not provided a patient may have a horrendous HIE which is particularly horrifying.

By the way we have known this long before Covid.

I was really lucky - at the age of 47, had heart attack while on a treadmill test. Coded twice in the ambulance. Ever thankful to the EMTs who defibbed me. That was in 1992. Actually, it wasn’t “luck” - I figure the good Lord still had work for me here, and I’ve tried to live the life that He gave me doing what He would have me do.
