These death numbers are very high considering the ICUs have better treatments now and more people are surviving the virus.

(23,524 posts)ventilators until they have no other choice, positioning their bodies face down the use of dexamethasone have all helped the survival rate. Yes, these people will have long term chronic health issues. But, more are surviving. This is what doctors and medical researchers do. They have worked really hard to get to where they are now. There were a few days where there were a thousand deaths a day in New York. Just getting to where they are now has taken belief in science and hard work.
