Saw a news clip yesterday. The doctors cited these reasons:
1. Invasive ventilators are absolutely last-ditch effort, last resort measure. They are relying more on non-invasive methods that don’t require intubation. My guess is a lot of folks died not because of the virus but because of the infections brought on by the intubations.
2. Lessons learned
3. Medications – they are using a variety of meds that have some effectiveness against the virus.
