failure. I haven't seen good numbers on this but when I read the physician COVID groups I see many posts about patients still having residual issues like shortness of breath or clots etc.

You hear all this about ventilator shortage but there was also a shortage of dialysis machines in the hard hit areas and now we have articles coming out about "permissive under dialysis " where they had to dialyze the bare minimum and move on to the next patient.

But all these opinions vary greatly even in the physician groups. Some are totally fine going to parties etc. I think there is a lot of "it won't happen to me" ...
