Remember, dime personally brought it home from his ill-advised trip to Singapore. He’s directly responsible for bringing it to Ireland.

If pneumonia gets bad enough, patients require intensive care. In the ICU, patients are closely monitored to make sure their condition doesn't deteriorate and that oxygen levels in their body don't drop dangerously low. Although patients may start off by receiving extra oxygen through a nasal tube, that might not be enough to get sufficient oxygen into their blood. Here's what patients with COVID-19 can experience in the ICU:

Ventilator support could be necessary. Ventilators are machines that supply oxygen to the lungs of patients with severe respiratory problems whose oxygen levels in the blood go below a certain point. To go on a ventilator, patients need to have a tube placed down their throat, or intubation. Ventilators can be life-saving. "A good portion of patients who are sick enough to be in our intensive care units are actually on ventilators at a much higher proportion than we usually see with our influenza patients," Martinello says.
ICU patients face an extended recovery. Coming off a ventilator is a gradual process as patients with COVID-19 progressively recover the ability to breathe on their own. "What we're seeing in patients who end up on ventilators is that they often stay on them for several weeks," Curtis says. "And then, coming off the ventilator, they're often going to be in the ICU for several days, and then back (on a regular hospital unit) for a few days to a week or so to regain their strength." It's likely that some patients will need to go into a rehabilitation or nursing facility to build their overall strength in the recovery phase, he says.

This might be too obvious, but if we had a President and conservative propaganda machine not downplaying the reality of the situation, we wouldn't be in as bad a shape as we are in.

The southeast leaders fear of crossing the President or their brainwashed constituents by telling them the truth (my entire family in NC watches Fox News or listens to Rush and Hannity on the radio) is going to end up being a horrible scenario for them and it didn't have to be.
