Rather than answer this a dozen times, I'll put it in the thread. The mortality statistic is from this paper. "Mortality for those requiring mechanical ventilation was 88.1%" (in a NYC hospital system)https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2765184 …

Also worth pointing out that the mortality data for those on a ventilator seems to vary a lot across health care systemshttps://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1253172475019448321 …

Follow up: excellent thread here explaining why the 88% mortality figure for ventilators is misleading (it leaves out 3/4 of the study participants)https://twitter.com/DrJohnScott/status/1253284905414426624 …

I think there’s a lot more to medical capacity than just ventilators, but it’s a pretty concerning data point

Yeah, missing how many patients need supplemental oxygen and/or fluids might swing it
