One more for the bulleted list: forbidding visitors/loved ones.

Such policies undoubtedly increased risk of medical error and patient death -- as left no/very few third-party witnesses to the mass death events reported in cities around the world, regardless of magnitude.

Perhaps "C" was and is misdiagnosed as a pulmonary disease (lungs), when it is a hematology problem (hemoglobin/ red blood cell) -- the damaging of heme so it cannot carry oxygen through the blood stream to cells and tissues (organs, extremities).

What does this mean? Even if you pump tons of oxygen into the lungs, the damaged red blood cells can't carry the oxygen in the lungs throughout the body.

But since the normal protocol of Doctors discussing symptoms was "forbidden" -- no one could undo the WRONG DIAGNOSIS.

Wrong diagnosis means wrong "cure" -- ventilators. Hence the patients on vents gasping for air then dying. 80% to 90% it was said.

And still doctor discussions (the norm before 2020) were VERBOTEN. Forbidden. (Who did that? Hmmm.)

I am not a doctor or scientist or expert.

I am a reader of the news. A citizen.
