This country has about 100,000 ventilators. If we dedicate them entirely to this virus we can save 20,000 seriously ill people. If we do nothing else. Those ventilators weren’t sitting in a warehouse. They were owned by businesses generating income. IOW, we can’t divert every one of those 100,000 to this virus. We will save 20,000 to lose 20,000 to something else. All this will be happening shortly in every hospital in the country. Deaths each day doubling every two days.
Hospital ERs will be over run long before it gets to thousands of death per day. We are at 25 deaths today. Doubling every two days and it will for two weeks because we were doing nothing until Friday. 800 deaths a day in ten days.
Mr. Sunshine, Who shall I send the multi trillion dollar bill to when the Wu Flu addicts are proven wrong?
We’ll know over the course of the next days. If the deaths each day keep doubling every two days we have a very big problem. I read we have 90 people on vents today. If the number of new vents each day keeps doubling every two days there won’t be enough vents in the country soon.
If each ventilator dependent patient needs it for 5 days and the number of new vents needed each day we are going to have a national crisis soon. We will have medical students bagging people in hallways.
