Josh Marshall TPM possible development in the treatment of covid 19

[link:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/possibledevelopments-in-the-treatment-of-covid-19] I hope I linked this correctly. This NYC MD Cameron Kyle-Siddell MD has advice about the settings on the ventilators. He says that using this protocol could reduce mortality. Well worth a listen I think.
I wrote everything down so I can advocate for my husband or he can advocate for me if needed. The link is broken but it does get you to TPM and you can get to the article from there.

2. They may find out if this theory of two phenotypic types of ARDS & thus differing treatments

needed--is correct simply because of patients (in particular HCWs) refusing ventilators. If they oxygenate them as well as possible and delay intubating because of patient demands, there will likely be an inadvertent internal comparison group at several hospitals.

I would not be surprised if he is right.

3. Interesting, considering the first thing

noted about this disease was very odd lung CT scans. They were described as “broken glass.”
