Still not a great number. I also wonder how often we intubate early to try and get ahead of this thing. If you were to absolutely wait until ventilator was required, I am guessing only 20ish percent make it.

Makes the “no point in intubation over a certain age” argument more critical

This Dr in New York that has treated 100s of cases seems to think there is

Agreed--I guess I would leave it as an open question as to how much medicine can

Also, I'm not sure that stat is accurate
