Mechanical ventilation is awful. You have a giant thing surrounding your face and stuffed down your throat. You can't read and it's so loud you can't listen to music. One of the worst ways to die. Most patients need antinausea and anxiolytic drugs just to be prevent severe panic on the damned things.

If you need to be put on a ventilator, ask for negative pressure ventilation. They are not only more efficacious for viral pulmonary dysfunction, but are not a hell inducing nightmare for your last moments like the plastic Alienesque (as in the movie) above. Indeed, you can still read and watch movies in them, drink tea, talk to your relatives in your last moments and confess if need be. Most hospitals still have iron lungs in the basement they can fire up.

>> No.16034439

If negative pressure ventilation is so much better why isn't it being used more often? Is there a drawback or factor that makes this difficult or are doctors just evil

In the UK they claim 45k people died from Covid (actually the statistics say died WITH Covid, so a person who has Covid and dies in a car crash or something is included in those stats). Over 300k people supposedly got it. And yet I know nobody who's had it, nobody who knows anybody who's had it. I ask everyone I talk to at work if they know anyone; they all say no. But I'm supposed to believe that Boris Johnson and all these famous people got it, even though among the commonfolk I find 0 cases? They could have just made all of this up and I would be none the wiser.

This is one of the goals. Others are
-mass surveillance and tracking apps (of course to prevent covid)
-social rating and immunity passports (do something uncovidy - lose your job)
-ban of international travel (remember Greta!)
-you can also always force house arrest on everyone again
-destruction of small businesses (but monopolies will thrive)
-full cancellation of medical services (we are fighting covid, ok?)
-a lot of money from selling vaccine, masks and tracking devices
and many others.
