Been there. Done that. It's scary. It sucks.

My heart goes out to Cedric and all who have had to fight the good fight against Covid. I'm lucky. I survived. I wish beyond all that is good in life that we can all help to fight that good fight and go get vaccinated and wear masks....so that there will be less and less people that lose that fight.

That is Cpap or Bipap machine in that pic, standard therapy for sleep apnea BTW  Was he on oyxgen or are they so short they are using those, usually there is a tube on them to hook up oxygen.   Are they using CPAP or BiPaps to treat Covid patients or is there is shortage of oxygen masks? 

I have had Covid, I didn't have to go to the hospital and wore the same mask at home.  But people with sleep apnea wear those masks every night folks.

But the thing with Covid is that no two people have it the same.   I've known people in better overall health with it, that almost died and I had a mild case felt really sick two days and tired for ten. 

Here is hoping he has a speedy recovery.

So I saw another pic of a covid patient with CiPap BiPAP mask, so they must be using them.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7261654/

This basically says it can help (positive results) and was used in Italy due to lack of ventilators but does not replace ventilation according to the article.  I've read some negative things about ventilator particularly in the beginning of the pandemic in terms of outcome.

I've never seen a subject with more conflicting information or false information from a lot of parties.  Sometimes right down party lines and that is flat out wrong.
