A lot of people died of the virus. Tomorrow many more will die. I’m not sure why that’s a surprise to anyone.

And if ICU is full, you are not going to get that better treatment even if it does exist.

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.
