This vid is a bit lengthy, but has info I haven’t heard yet.
Great video from 3/23/20 - thanks for posting it. Here's the Cliffs Notes version:
Coronavirus attacks and kills cells in your lungs causing the body to respond with an immune (inflammatory) response and fluid builds up in the alveoli in your lungs (pneumonia and ARDS - Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome). The fluid restricts the capacity and ability of the lungs to perform and take in oxygen and process it for your body. Fluid fills up in the alveoli and the interstitial spaces (lung tissue) around them. The lungs can't move and breathing is limited.
If the doctor says the patient is beginning to "tire out" and they want to put him/her on a ventilator to treat the ARDS. About 50% of the patients on ventilators, he thinks, are not surviving due to sepsis and other organs failing due to lack of oxygen to them (heart, liver, kidneys, etc.).
