The virus destroys lungs and then pneumonia follows choking the patient to death, like all pneumonia deaths.

Horrible.

The virus...does NOT destroy everyone....that are positive with the virus.

Have you ever seen a person die from Resp. Failure? I have....They are not "choking"...they are having SOB...and then their CO2 gets so high they get CO2 narcosis..and pass away.

And I've actually had pt's with PNA...and they ALL do not die...choking to death.

There are so many other factors...that your post does not say...

Let me add.....

The folks I've seen die...with advanced lung DZ...were generally long term COPD'ers with PNA..or some other co-morbidity....and DNR's.

If they aren't DNR's...then they are on a Ventilator...for one reason or another...PNA, not taking their meds...they kept smoking..etc...etc...

But your post...is inaccurate...
