The Corona Virus has swept our globe, changed our way of life, and forced us to look at what we’re willing to sacrifice for our own safety, and for each other. But is going the distance on social distancing worth it? How bad could it really get if we throw caution to the wind and just get back out there?
In this episode of Globally Heated, we will be guiding you through some visualization of all these numbers we keep hearing about andtake a closer look at the statistics associated with COVID-19.
On this podcast, we’re going to be discussing the numbers associated with COVID-19, including mortality rates, as well as a detailed overview of the processes of intubation and putting a patient on a ventilator. This may not be a discussion everyone is comfortable with or ready to listen to right now, especially if this virus has directly affected them or a loved one. You have our sympathies and understanding, and if this week’s episode isn’t for you, that’s totally okay and valid.
Our goal today is to help listeners get a bit of a personal perspective on what the COVID-19 numbers mean, for them, for those around them, and for the world.
Alex describes intubation and mechanical ventilation in detail from 18:33 to 22:00, feel free to skip on over that part if it's not for you!
