Most elderly covid-19 patients put on ventilators at two New York hospitals did not survive, according to a sweeping study published Tuesday that captured the brutal nature of this new disease and the many ways it attacks the body.

Good thing we panicked and made to many ventilators.

Quote
The study, published in the Lancet, is broadly consistent with clinical findings from China and Europe, and confirmed that advanced age is the greatest risk factor for a severe outcome, particularly if accompanied by chronic underlying diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

This is news? Isnt that what we have been saying this whole time?

A guy in our CAF Wing is a retired engineer from GE Healthcare here in Wisconsin. He was called back to work and is working third shift pumping out respirators.

Someone must be making a payday selling medical devices to the government that may never be used.
