Lt Col Charlie Brown Wow! Talk about a catch 22. Dang if you do and Dang if you don't. Since this is still very new...at the beginning stages...there has not been enough time to study it...and to do the various studies needed to learn more about this super bug. I sure hope they can figure this out soon....Just like politics and the R and D disagreeing about things...so do doctors...and I'm thinking that the doctors who feel the ventilators are killing the patients should give the choice to the patients and or their families to make the choice whether to use the ventilator of not...and start recording everything about the use of and without and see the outcome...but in the meantime, I suppose it'll keep being a hit or miss.

Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting a reasonable perspective on limiting the use of ventilators to those who truly need them to survive to become stable.
