Original Note:
Ventilation is undertaken for patients with respiratory failure who would almost certainly die without support. Patients sick enough to require intubation tend to be those who are older and have underlying conditions. Early intubation is associated with improved survival. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34177166/ https://time.com/5820556/ventilators-covid-19/ https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1802098777257623572
