COVID-19 is a weird mofo, you can watch patients with PaO2 of 50 checking messages on their phones, than others who are walking ready for discharge collapse in the bathroom and die in 20mins.

It appears to affect the endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels) so ABGs end up phony like in the example above, along with strokes and myocarditis (heart attack with normal coronaries).

Fact is once intubated 90% die.
Fact is pre-existing microvascular disease (e.g. Viagra poppers and diabetics)
will greatly increse risk of death.

Butt to cheek in an urban conglomeration is another risk, as is being raised on WonderBread and corn syrup jelly

Thank you God for the Midwest where people are friendly and care about each other, as an immigrant to Massachusetts I thought all Americans were like those....
