Something else is going on as they learn more about this disease. Apparently people are thinking that lung problems are not killing people like they assumed, the disease may damage the bloods ability to transport oxygen. You may notice that the governors have stopped screaming about respirators. That's because the MD's are backing away from putting people on a respirator in the first place.
I saw comments by a pulmonary specicilst doctor who pointed out that the prognosis for anyone going on a respirator is grim. Only a small percentage manages to get off one once they put you on one. And it should be saved as the absolute last resort.
