One more development and one more theory that may either help patients or just muddy the waters. It seems that there are just so many people going in so many different directions in their efforts and sadly many of those efforts, however valiant, are leading to dead ends. Hopefully one of those efforts is going to lead to a breakthrough that will save at least some lives until the cure can be found and the vaccine can be developed.

Another theory may offer hope for those that are presently are dying while on ventilators. I am still a believer in anything that saves even one life, and doctors in NYC have prescribed the subject drug regimen for some patients and it HAS WORKED in some cases. For those the think that the CDC is the ultimate authority on this pandemic, and that any other doctors are quacks and dummies, I think that there is not only room for, but a necessity for other doctor's inputs to be considered.

In the best of times a patient on a ventilator has about a 50-50 chance of never coming off. It is always a tough choice for doctors and families.

DNR for me. I do not want one of those things in me.
