1. They'd need to have more staff to monitor as built in ones would need to be shut off

and each person would need close constant monitoring to ensure they were getting proper oxygenation without over or under ventilations and the damage that could cause.

It is a good start, needs more studying.

It's not as simple as hook them up and let the machine ventilate, but lung capacity, elasticity, etc, all need to be taken into consideration.

2. Highly technical, but anyone with a medical/nursing background should be able to follow it.

Also, very interesting!

Thanks for posting.

3. That's all good...

as long as the equipment works normally. In case of failure, however, multiple lives hang in the balance.

4. I'd rather be on a "ventilator train"

than trying to suck air on my own while infected and dying.

5. Who wouldn't?
