Wow not giving ECMO to BMI 25+ is really something. I am fairly skinny and it wouldn't take much for me to reach 25. They should consider revising the cutoff especially since Chinese people can be of thinner frames. 25 may be slightly overweight for them but normal for others.

According to that thread, Seattle has only 12 ECMO machines in total.

I don't understand, you want the virus to not kill people with >25 BMI to accommodate US standards? I don't think they chose these criteria because they just hate fat people.
