Myself and others have talked about the majority of deaths from this virus for people on a ventilator are caused by ARDS. For the layman, extreme inflammation of the lungs make it difficult to use a ventilator on the patient because its like pushing concrete apart to get a breath into the patient.

People die from ARDS for a lot of reasons. But, almost every time before the tipping point into ARDS, there is at least phlegm in the lungs. It doesn't get out of the lungs and pneumonia develops in the lungs. Sets off a chain of events and you develop ARDS which in turn sets off a lot more cascading events that are all bad.

Here's the deal, in the coronavirus when the patient presents to a Dr., hospital etc. there is no phlegm being coughed up for days. No green or yellow phlegm that would created by pneumonia.

They have a dry cough. There is no phlegm. This makes no sense. These people dying within 48-72 hours of admission to a hospital. Pneumonia doesn't send the patient down that path of those bad cascading events into ARDS and death that quickly. There is "something" unique about this virus that we just don't know yet. We discover the why, we can better battle this when it reemerges again.
