Vents have always had 50% kill ratio, I think its more like 80% with covid... its a death sentence, plenty of whistleblowers out there... plenty of autopsies where they basically say "we have never seen lung damage like this, its like the tissue blew up -- of course it must be a novel virus!" or the nurse who would watch the doctor put the tube in wrong all day, day after day and ultimately she was transferred for speaking up.
Yeah I heard the guy had two big holes in his lungs and I assumed they were blown out by his venting.
His wife showed up at our church a couple of weeks ago after he had just gone on the vent. She was crying most of the service. She came with a couple I do know. They brought her with them. I felt helpless to do anything other to tell her I was sorry. I already knew then he was probably a goner. He lived another couple of weeks from then I heard. He died this past week.
I personally did not know the family but others here in my community did know them well. He was retired but I don't know his age. I assume in late 60's through late 70's.
