He gets on the phone and calls his wife and tells her how much he loves her. Now the ventilator is breathing for him. This is so Fucked up. The ones that die are dying alone. No family members or visitors period. If I wasn't a healthy person and started getting the symptoms, I'd say fuck it and die in my bed by my own means.


I don't have the link, but one medical professional has been sounding an alarm that the ventilators need to be re-programmed for use with COVID-19 patients. He states that that the way the ventilators work now, is doing more harm than good.
