I had a coworker die of covid back in late January of this year. He too was very obese, like probably around 500lbs. This was back when as soon as your oxygen level dropped to a certain point, they would intubate you. So sure enough, his oxygen level dropped to a certain point. They tried to induce a coma so they could intubate him and he had a massive heart attack. I noticed that nobody mentions intubation anymore. Do they even still do that or has the medical community quietly realized that intubating people was probably killing them?
No, they still do it. Apparently friend's coworker had a tube shoved down his throat.
After nearly two years, you'd think they would have come up with another solution or something. I'm not aware of any case of someone being intubated and recovering.
There's no incentive to try anything else when the government is paying you ~40k to diagnose and kill someone with a ventilator.
There's a guy in my office, he's 500-600 pounds. His breathing sounds like he's already on a respirator.
They've known since early on that intubating was causing problems. They would crank up the pressure which was then damaging the lungs. They were killing people for that easy government money.
