Lord of nothing:
Well the experters say there are no more Ventilator are needed.
People who suffer Corona "just" need some Medicine for thinner Blood I dont know how to called in English.

There are many reports suggesting ventilators are not the silver bullet people think they are, https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-health-coronavirus-ventilators-specia/special-report-as-virus-advances-doctors-rethink-rush-to-ventilate-idUKKCN2251ST Patients need oxygen, but not necessarily mechanical ventilation.

Like many medical treatments, they are applied because doctors think it is a good idea and there is anecdotal evidence that "it works". However, there have been no Randomised Controlled Trials (the gold standard) to prove it works. Obviously, it's a new virus so we are still learning how to treat it.
Lord of nothing:
The Docs still know how to tread it. The have to give the patient something to make the Blood flow better. Thats it. Nothing special.
