A far better explanation than anything i heard on the TV last night (roomie just had to watch the special news show about Covid. The lies, OMG the lies.)

The numbers of people dying (the failure rates of people)on respirators should make respirators all but banned in these cases. But, it is the selling point, that we NEED to manufacture more respirators.

One of the biggest clues is that for most people the Wuhan-flu is just a flu, and not a bad one as flues go. And then we have the cases that "require" a respirator. Without many cases in the middle.

Vitamin C and D also seem to play a HUGE role in whether a person goes to the ICU, as in, nobody with sufficient levels of C and D have been admitted to the ICU.

There was also a story of a group that was using blood oxygenating machines to keep people alive, but i don't know where to find it.
