Everyone talking about #makeventilators is missing the point.
Yes, we're going to run out. No, it won't be pretty. But we don't have labor capacity to care for that many more than we can ventilate.
We need O2 concentrators so that 2/3 of hospital cases can switch to home care.

I still don’t know how common that scenario is. Ie how much better is oxygen treatment for mild pneumonia than no treatment?

In a world where oxygen for mild pneumonia doesn’t prevent progression to ARDS, then home oxygen improves quality of life for mild cases but doesn’t take pressure off the medical system or prevent many deaths.
