Well, it has been bent.
We never ran out of ventilators, we never ran out of hospital bed.
WE never USED more beds than we did use.

Success. The system was saved.

Time to open back up.

Mission Accomplished.
They scored a perfect score. 100%! Everyone of their doom and gloom predictions failed to materialize.

I’ve heard from a reliable source that once a person has relied on that ¾” breathing tube for more than 14 days they’re history anyway. Apparently once it’s removed after that length of time you won’t be able to breath on your own.

I find Tucker’s comments to be right on the money when it comes how some of these politicians want to control the many aspects of our lives while they seem to either disregard or sometimes even ignore the scientific information being provided. (Some of which is not even complete) So when did these politicians become experts?

I’ve heard just few (very few!) news clips about many numbers of people who are apparently immune to this virus. I find it very interesting that this type of information isn’t being investigated more thoroughly and worse yet not discussed more openly!
Funny thing is this scenario was never even mentioned as a possibility early on by anyone!

Agreed. 88% death rate on a ventilator is nearly useless. If you don't stop the virus progression before the need of a ventilator, you may as well go the palliative care route.
