If it's me I say roll the dice

Nearly all COVID-19 patients put on ventilators in New York's largest health system died, study finds

Bozo and his favorite cable network think desperation justifies hospitals and docs in paying for and using anything Alex Jones, or anyway Sean Hannity, has heard "some people are saying" might be a cure, or anyway help in treatment of Covid-19.

Like, you know, a malaria drug.

If in this hospital some 12 percent of people put on ventilators survived how many would have survived if no ventilators had been used?

So long as use of the gadget really adds in some notable way to the chances of survival and doesn't otherwise do worse harm I would want to roll the dice.
