Not understanding you. Maybe you're just messing with me?Eric,
Interesting commentary on the use of ventilators; especially early on in the pandemic. Feels like another CT angle for those inclined.
Were the docs in on the deal and ventilated early, when they could pretend the chemical agent (as Enrique recently suggested) was a novel virus, in order to hasten the global cabal's wish to reduce the population to 1b lucky souls? Or, was it just the best efforts of ethical docs when dealing with a novel pathogen? I expect I know your answer, but I'm sure there's something here for others to glob onto.
It should be clear from this thread alone that I am not a CTer by any measure. You know that. The danger of vents is common knowledge in my business. It was known long before there was covid, like decades before.
There is a novel corona virus. In fact there is often a novel coronavirus. This particular one can be nasty because it can result in severe widespread inflammation of the lungs in some tiny susceptible portion of the population. Overwhelmingly, people do not experience the severe reaction. The disease kills the elderly and infirm (seriously compromised immune system). Ok?
In the early days of the disease, doctors really had no idea how to treat the global inflammation of the lungs. They did the best they knew how, which was aggressive use of vents. The danger of the vents was increased because the staff running them weren't always skilled. This was a big problem in New York City and NJ where the virus had a big impact on nursing homes because the dummy governors put sick patients in the homes with frail elderly. After a few months physicians learned and began adjusting their protocols and used vents less aggressively.
This is all a matter of record. What's with he insulting CT quip?
I can't help what CTers grab onto as an impetus for spinning their kooky yarns.
Here is a link that, while not scientific, actually manages to give a pretty good picture of the issues involving vents and covid - https://www.wpr.org/almost-death-se...-peers-are-rethinking-ventilators-coronavirus
The knowledge is so widespread that even the very mainstream vanilla WebMD knows about it -

Anyone interested can easily find more scientific literature on the topic. It's really not a far out topic. This is what I'm talking about. People spouting off as if they know it all when, in fact, they know little or nothing. It's a thing that leads to CT formulation and it's something done b y anti-CTers. It's an internet thing and it's a guy at the local pub thing. It's a human thing, but it's really annoying. Why is it not ok to just say, "I don't know" when you really don't know? Is there an assumption that everyone else is playing the same spray and see what sticks game? So let's just go ahead and bash each other with BS?
