In two if the three studies a third of the people who survived were able to come off ventilation. It’s not a panacea as the article says, but I suspect without ventilators the death rate would be more like 100%, and I’ll take my chances with 1/3 versus 0 any day.
- swiley 7y agoI think I’d personally rather die than go through that but that’s just me.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoYou'd rather die than spend a week or two sedated on a ventilator? I don't feel the same.
- roywiggins 7y agoThat's not unreasonable. Being intubated, by all accounts, sucks. A lot. But it matters that you'd have the choice.
- adrianN 7y agoNow is the time to put that in writing so that somebody else might get your ventilator.
- swiley 7y agoYup, it's in writing here.
