the United States, China, England: the majority of intubated patients dies
Several studies from abroad can now, however, suspect that these same devices in the fight against Covid-19 are not as effective as hoped. According to a report from London documented that 1053-intubated patients only 355 live left the hospital (33.7 percent). A smaller study from the Chinese Corona-Hot-Spot of Wuhan draws an even bleaker picture: only three of the 22 intubated patients survived (13.6 percent).
