I spoke to a person who owns a ICU hospital in NY. He said that only 14% of pts on ventilation survive and the most of survivals are permanently damaged. Consequently, his advice: treatment must be started ASAP except for pts with none-to-low risk factors.
In absence of good treatment options, testing as many people as possible for COVID19 and isolating test-positives as well as ALL wearing masks. Instead, the officials including CDC are playing propaganda and disinformation games covering their mistakes and shortcomings.
