85% of people put on ventilators die. Why? Because ventilators do not address the actual issue of blood holding oxygen, unique to this flu. There is an argument mortality would actually be reduced by not putting patients on ventilators.

This flu is causing Hypoxia -- makes the person unable to utilize oxygen. Ventilators won't help, they may even cause death in this case.

There was a NY doctor saying the same thing. He said this was behaving more like Altitude Sickness and a vent is the wrong thing for that.
