@Mik Had exactly the same thought. The entire world is working on this problem. Who knows what we'll learn in another month.

We are at last starting to look like sci-fi told me Medical treatments would look like!
Next step? Big glass tanks filled with some medicinal gel!

My surgeon friend and I were talking about how to get oxygen into patients without using a ventilator. This is obviously a good and simple solution (hope it works!). However, he suggested hyperbaric chambers.
I suppose that would work as well, but if you think ventilators are in short supply....
Then he said, "Airplanes. Widebody airplane fuselage could become a very large hyperbaric pressure chamber. Maybe not more than 2 atm but, hey it might be useful."

My first thinking on this disease is it would be better to get it early when the health system is not overwhelmed. Now I am thinking later as we are learning how better to help patients in distress.

These look similar to what was shown in pics from Italy.
Indeed!
