BRC,
There is obviously a critical shortage of RTs in the US for this. I know that anesthesiologists and CRNAs can help fill some of that gap, but could an RT working remotely monitor multiple vents at once, giving instructions to lesser-trained healthcare workers (nurse's aids, LPNs) for the appropriate adjustments to serve as a sort of force multiplier? |

This is despite them taking cruise ships up until about a week ago and just now closing hotels and forcing tourists/spring breakers out. It should’ve been spreading down here by now. |

I know a lot of people that work at the hospital and nothing has changed. I don’t know any locals that are or have gotten sick and this is a small town where we’d know if people were getting sick.

You mean you don't know? After you made 2 assumptions on why I reported was wrong you don't even know what you are referring too, do you? I told you which ones haven't. I think you should be able to figure out which ones had. WOW!

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I legitimately have not read of a single American death due to COVID of someone under 50 who didn't have some underlying health issue. Quote:
Has there been a documented case of a young person dying of COVID due to complications caused by hypertension? If that's the case then damn near the entire Western Hemisphere is ****ed. Has this been confirmed? If so, is the damage irreparable? I think the lungs are one of the few internal organs that can self-repair. |

Until you test 340 mil people, the asymptomatic thing is nothing more than speculation. We cannot let that paralyze us which it will at some point if we keep speculating.

I’m in no way pretending that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to this stuff. I just find that really strange when we’ve had tourists down here for weeks. You’d think some people would be getting sick and showing symptoms by now.
