Panic, panic, panic!
Just received word from an ICU doctor at a small NY hospital: They are officially out of ventilators and are now double venting patients with COVID (using the same ventilator for 2 infected patients). Do everything possible to avoid infection. PLEASE ISOLATE as best you can.

Can't they take them to another hospital? (until they all run out of ventilators)
-
If patients unstable, they might not have a chance.

Double venting is a thing? Is it possible long term?
-
Yes, testing from a doc in NY showed 4-venting still works well with test lungs etc. But possible cross-contamination is higher risk. Not ideal, but probably saves a lot of people.
