Except when every ICU bed is taken and there are no ventilators available, the mortality rate is probably in the 3-5% rate.

Oh, this again. Most people that get on a ventilator don't make it off alive. So I think we can put this bullshit to bed.

That's the study with the BEST outcomes. Every other study shows an even higher mortality rate among those ventilated.
