What's this?

Nothing is written in stone yet but from what I’ve seen so far, it sounds

like 80% of those sick enough to be put on a ventilator end up dying. Which to me says the whole battle to lower the curve to insure that we don’t go over the max amount of ventilators & icu beds is all about saving the 20% that have the current potential of recovering. Since 80% of those on ventilators aren’t going to pull through anyways, unless, some kind of cure is discovered very soon.
Personally, if I’m gonna die from this virus, I’d just as soon skip the last 10 or 20 days on a ventilator.
