If this was a developing country with no advance knowledge that there was a pandemic, maybe.

But it’s not, so your post is absurd, at best.

“About 90 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die.”

Most EMS staff will say the survival rate is 5%. That’s what they taught at my last BLS class.

“But the real rate of survival is about 12% for cardiac arrests that occur outside hospitals”

And I’m here to tell you that the survival they are speaking of is not one you necessarily want. The ones I have seen make it were tubed and shipped out to die a few weeks later in a trauma center ICU. Unless healthcare staff do the compressions, they are rarely done hard enough.

Next time you use the word absurd, check the facts so you don’t look stupid.
