We are treating people for the wrong disease. We are being fooled. Ventilators are necessary but people's lungs are being damaged by the way the ventilators are used.
When people have pnuemonia their muscles get weak. The muscles on these people, supposedly with coronavirus, are fine even though their lungs are starving for oxygen. It’s as if these sick patients are on top of mt everest for weeks without clothes.

Actually it is so easy to answer your 3 questions... we are all fight against the covid-19.
The leaders of the world could be in any way wrong in making the best policiest for their people to fight the covid-19. Any kind of support is needed. if you can't stand to stay at home, go out but keep your distance and speak positive!!
tomcatty: Would you suggest that all the fine doctors of the world are wrong?????
All? No. Misled maybe, yes. Did the Egyptians Believe in their medicine? Did george Washington’s doctors kill george by a bloodletting procedure? Poor george woke up on the day he died with a sore throat. His doctors then drained about 40% of his blood that day before he died.
What we SHOULD really be fighting against is THE LIES surrounding these events which drain the majority of money, energy, confidence in life and the future.
Money - we all know that it's US 'regular people' who are going to have to make up for the money squandered.
Energy - look around at how many people have become afraid, panicking about this
Confidence in life and the future - Lies are used for ONE purpose only. To CONTROL PEOPLE and repeated lies ares to CONDITION PEOPLE'S MINDS and, with conditioned minds people become ever easier to control ... makes it a downward spiral for the masses...

More people might die indirectly from losing there jobs or other problems caused by a lengthy quarantine than the lives coronavirus might take.

Y'll forgive me ... sometimes it seems as if more than person posts using this profile?
Totally agree with you - I've made that same point earlier and, if I can find the link, pointed to a UK GP (MD / family doctor) who has made that very same point - he admitted to the cold hard facts that, under normal circumstances decisions about treatments are based upon QALY's ( Quality Added Life Years) and that in the UK decisions re treatment are made on the approximate basis of 30K (GBP) per QALY. ( as a rough example if a hip operation is 30k then a person aged 75 can expect around 13 QALY's a person of 86 only 1 or 2 QALY's (and a substantially heightened risk of death under surgery or soon after as a consequence of surgery)
Looking at CV19 the logic has been replaced by blind panic and emotion and current spending is ( from memory) circa 1,000,000 plus per QALY which as he pointed out is not sustainable. He also pointed to 'other factors' such as depression, suicide and the overall decline in 'all services' available which will NEGATIVELY impact the quality of life for millions of people over the coming decade(s) through poverty created by unemployment ... and the inevitable pain that's endured.
Had he more time he might have gone on and explored how this is going to be exaggerated as we have more automation and less n less human labour in play ... while agreeing I think perhaps that's only the tip of a 'social issues iceberg'

Im not always the best at written communication. That is why you might think more than two people are using the same profile. I mostly want to be amused by others when i log on but some subjects get me thinking more seriously.

So, asked respectfully, sometimes do you like, lot the plot due to ( drink / drug / other ) issues ?

I noticed Trump has succeeded in obstructing Congress's ability to closely monitor the flow of monies from the massive Corona spending bill.Why Trump wants to hide the money is beyond me. Maybe he has some big honey pots out there.
