A series of restrictions, stay at home orders, and social distancing guidelines were put into place which drastically reduced the transmission rate of the virus. Paired with increased ventilator production, this was enough to keep supply greater than demand

part of the problem was that coronavirus patients don’t act like other patients with ARDS, but part of the problem was that most physicians and nursing staff are neither proficient in the use of Ventilators nor credentialed to maintain patients on ventilators.

Short of general anesthesia, putting someone on a ventilator is about as hazardous a situation as you can get and demands many person-hours of highly skilled physician, nursing, and respiratory therapy care. Even with normal ARDS from other viruses and appropriate numbers of skilled personnel you lose about 40% of patients put on a ventilator. With COVID and misuse of ventilators, it was closer to 90% in some places - like NYC.

Oh, you're serious.
Ok then, so you'll be ok when someone shows up wearing a thin blue line mask or is trying to change the tag line to all lives matter instead of focusing on the injustice at hand? Many cannot discuss everyday politics or religion on the flight deck, let alone have a conversation about why some things need to be reformed.
There are places where statements need to be made, just about any other place, but the flight deck is not one of them given the current severe tensions on both sides.

That is not permitted. You shall repent and explain why you're hateful and evil. Not my rules.

Face masks are just another dumb measure just like hand sanitizer that turned out to be wrong because it isn’t a virus that you can get from surfaces very easily. Face masks only help if it’s a N95 mask and it is fitted to your face properly. CDC recommends people make and use masks from home. I’m guessing the micron level protection of your old sheets, underwear or bra are about as effective as a condom that is expired and has a .40 caliber hole in it. There is no more common sense and people can’t or are not allowed to decide what is best for them. It’s just asinine.
