Hes been removed from the ventilator. He actually was able to come off of it on the 2nd day.
Im not sure I understand what you are saying. That if he were to get the coronavirus it wouldn't kill him? If he was on a ventilator the coronavirus wouldn't exacerbate the COPD? Even people that get put on a ventilator still die from this. His heart and lungs just went through the stresses of surgery and then when you take into account that he has severe emphysema, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and a. fib with rvr, if he were to get the Coronavirus, then his condition would rapidly deteriorate.
That is why these hospitals need to have more strict rules and better guidelines into place. They make a big stink about wearing your mask to possibly prevent spreading the flu, but theyre not going to require the people taking care of the most sick/vulnerable patients to wear masks.
The hospital put in all kinds of stupid guidelines, but none of the guidelines will stop anything.
