Good to know. I somehow doubt there would be any valid reason for her to lie, but oh well.

- TheCapn 6y agoI'll state that my wife -an ICU nurse- has stated the same thing. A man dying from COVID19 claiming its a fake virus as he was being sedated to have a tube shoved down his throat passed away days later still believing it was fake. He was one of the first deaths in our region. She broke down hard that night, things are just ramping up here.
- petertodd 6y agoFrankly given what we now know about overuse of ventilators, that the man was still speaking at that point is concerning. https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2020/04/24/ventilator-study https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2020/04/24/ventilato...
- TheCapn 6y agoWithout reading through the article and its sources, are we surprised that patients who were experiencing severe enough symptoms to warrant a ventilator were also teetering on the brink of death?
- petertodd 6y agoWhat I'm surprised at is they are still healthy enough to be talking, yet fit the criteria for ventilation, given what we now know. I'm no doctor. But everything I read in mainstream sources indicates it's well accepted that ventilators were overused earlier in the pandemic.
- caseysoftware 6y agoBeing interviewed on CNN is considered pretty amazing for most people. If you have to make something up that fits the overall narrative and is unlikely to be fact checked by "legitimate" news sources, few obvious/immediate downsides. Of course, if her employer comes out and says "her statement doesn't match reality" and decides she can't be trusted and gets fired, that changes things. Some will see it as "justified" because she made it up while others will see it as a "coverup to hide the facts!" and again, few obvious/immediate downsides. sigh
