Trump seldom gets any credit for being right, and he\u2019s right so frequently. He is right so often.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/04\/08\/trump-was-right-cuomo-was-wrong-about-ventilator-needs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-343184 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-040920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-040920.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-040920-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-040920-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>And he was right about the need for ventilators, and Andrew Cuomo was wrong. The media treated Cuomo\u2019s claims &#8212; it\u2019s interesting to go back and remember all of this. We\u2019re flooded with data and we\u2019re being flooded with numbers and it just all becomes a hodgepodge after not too long a period of time. Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York claimed that he needed 30,000 ventilators. The media tweeted Cuomo\u2019s claims needing 30,000 ventilators as legitimate and, man, you better provide \u2019em, Trump, Cuomo needs \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration said no, he\u2019s not gonna need that many. Trump was pilloried by the media for questioning whether New York would actually need 30,000 additional ventilators or 40,000 additional ventilators as claimed by Governor Cuomo in late March. You ready? &#8220;New models &#8211;&#8221; here we go. &#8220;New models from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation,&#8221; the famous now IHME, state of Washington, &#8220;show that New York already reached its peak projected ventilator usage on April 8, with a projected need of 5,008. The actual use may have been even lower.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of press time when this piece was published on the internet, not a single media outlet had revisited their reporting on the matter. Cuomo said 30,000, the media said, &#8220;He needs 30,000. Trump, where you gonna come up with them? Where\u2019s the supply chain?&#8221; He gets a supply chain guy, they get him up there in the briefing. Trump says (imitating Trump), &#8220;We\u2019re making ventilators, GM\u2019s making generators, Apple\u2019s making them, whoever\u2019s making them. We got the best ventilators in the world, we got more ventilators than anybody, but New York\u2019s not gonna need 30,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The media said, &#8220;You heartless SOB. Cuomo knows what he needs, you don\u2019t know what he needs, you\u2019re just a doofus.&#8221; Trump was right. In late March it was a big story. Trump said that he doubted New York would need that many ventilators. A couple reporters at Politico framed the dustup in their article headline: &#8220;Trump Downplays Need for Ventilators as New York Begs to Differ.&#8221; Of course, Trump doesn\u2019t care. Trump is presiding over people suffering. Donald Trump doesn\u2019t care about New York. Cuomo a Democrat, Trump a Republican, all of this asinine politicization.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how The Politico story was worded. &#8220;Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York says his state needs tens of thousands of ventilators to respond to the escalating coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump doesn\u2019t believe him. Speaking with Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity on Thursday night, Trump again minimized the impact of the infectious outbreak in the United States, casting doubt on the demand for so many of the respiratory devices in hospitals on the front lines of the disease. &#8216;I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they\u2019re going to be,\u2019 he said. &#8216;I don\u2019t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You go into major hospitals sometimes, and they\u2019ll have two ventilators. And now, all of a sudden, they\u2019re saying, &#8220;Can we order 30,000 ventilators?&#8221;&#8216; The rest of the story continued in that vein.&#8221; Cuomo needed it, Cuomo\u2019s the expert, Cuomo knew, Trump didn\u2019t know, Trump disagreed, Trump\u2019s not the expert, Trump\u2019s a doofus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cuomo also claimed the state would need 140,000 beds. The IHME model reports that peak bed use was projected to have been reached on April 8, with fewer than 23,000 beds needed.&#8221; They didn\u2019t need the Javits Center. They didn\u2019t need the Central Park makeshift hospital. They didn\u2019t need all that. Hospitalizations, which is the key to this, have always been lower than projected by the models.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343226\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Trump-Was-Right.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Trump-Was-Right.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Trump-Was-Right-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Trump-Was-Right-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the story from STAT that I mentioned in the previous half hour. Headline: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2020\/04\/08\/doctors-say-ventilators-overused-for-covid-19\/\">&#8220;With Ventilators Running Out, Doctors say the Machines are Overused for Covid-19.&#8221;<\/a> (gasping) Really? How many of you &#8212; and it\u2019s because of media reporting. You can\u2019t be blamed. How many of you think that a lot of people are dying \u2019cause we don\u2019t have any ventilators and we have such bad planning, we didn\u2019t make enough, we didn\u2019t have enough, we can\u2019t make \u2019em fast, oh, my God. People are dying because we don\u2019t have ventilators and the United States sucks. China\u2019s got ventilators. Sweden\u2019s got ventilators. United States, eh. How many of you believe this because this has been the reporting?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m starting the story now: &#8220;Even as hospitals and governors raise the alarm about a shortage of ventilators, some critical care physicians are questioning the widespread use of the breathing machines for Covid-19 patients, saying that large numbers of patients could instead be treated with less intensive respiratory support. If the iconoclasts are right, putting coronavirus patients on ventilators could be of little benefit to many and even harmful to some. What\u2019s driving this reassessment is a baffling observation about Covid-19.&#8221; And this is really curious. &#8220;Many patients have blood oxygen levels so low they should be dead. But they\u2019re not gasping for air, their hearts aren\u2019t racing, and their brains show no signs of blinking off from lack of oxygen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know how many of you &#8212; you know, they\u2019ve got these fingertip devices now that they slip your finger in and measure your temperature and your heart rate, your pulse, and your blood oxygen and they think if you\u2019re below 93%, uh-oh. It\u2019s crash cart time. I have to do this now so many times a week, it would boggle your mind. So I\u2019ve learned about this. If you get 93% blood oxygen, uh-oh. Crisis time. You\u2019ve got COVID-19 patients coming in with blood oxygen levels in the seventies, they should be dead, they should be gasping for air, their hearts should be racing, their brains should be shut down. And they\u2019re not. They\u2019re able to walk in. They\u2019re ambulatory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is making critical care physicians suspect that blood levels of oxygen, which for decades have driven decisions about breathing support for patients with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress, might be misleading them about how to care for those with COVID-19. In particular, more and more are concerned about the use of intubation and mechanical ventilators. They argue that more patients could receive simpler, noninvasive respiratory support, such as the breathing masks used in sleep apnea [CPAP machines] at least to start with and maybe for the duration of the illness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Put a CPAP machine on these people, put a mask over their mouth, over their nose and force air into their mouth and nose. You don\u2019t have to hook \u2019em up to a ventilator that breathes for them. You just do it. &#8220;Sohan Japa, an internal medicine physician at Boston\u2019s Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, &#8216;I think we may indeed be able to support a subset of these patients. I think we have to be more nuanced about who we intubate.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once you intubate somebody, it\u2019s tough to get people off ventilators once you put \u2019em on them. Once they forget how to breathe, once they become accustomed to breathing with a machine doing it, it\u2019s tough. It\u2019s always a big moment of truth when they tell a patient, &#8220;We\u2019re gonna turn the breathing machine off, just breathe.&#8221; They panic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;None of this means that ventilators are not necessary &#8230; or that hospitals are wrong to fear running out. But as doctors learn more about treating COVID-19, and question old dogma about blood oxygen and the need for ventilators, they might be able to substitute simpler and more widely available devices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2020\/04\/08\/doctors-say-ventilators-overused-for-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-343189 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-Stat-TEARAWAY-040920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-Stat-TEARAWAY-040920.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-Stat-TEARAWAY-040920-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-Stat-TEARAWAY-040920-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Here are the numbers. &#8220;An oxygen saturation rate below 93% &#8211;&#8221; The normal is 95% to 100%.

Both work via a tube into a face mask. &#8230; But because in some patients with COVID-19, blood-oxygen levels fall to hardly-ever-seen levels, into the 70s and even lower, [doctors] are intubating them sooner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Data from China suggested that early intubation would keep COVID-19 patients\u2019 heart, liver, and kidneys from failing due to hypoxia,\u2019 said a veteran emergency medicine physician. &#8216;This has been the whole thing driving decisions about breathing support: Knock them out and put them on a ventilator.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If they show up below 93%, it\u2019s panic time. But they\u2019re showing up at 70%; they\u2019re still ambulatory, and they\u2019re able to breathe. It\u2019s one of the oddities, and they can\u2019t figure it out. Now, &#8220;the first batch of evidence,&#8221; as doctors learn more about this disease, they\u2019re questioning how and &#8220;how often mechanical ventilators&#8221; should be used. &#8220;The first batch of evidence relates to how often the machines fail to help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You want to hear some shocking numbers?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Contrary to the impression that if extremely ill patients with COVID-19 are treated with ventilators they will live and if they are not [treated with ventilators] they will die, the reality is far different,\u2019 said geriatric and palliative care physician Muriel Gillick of Harvard Medical School. &#8230; In a U.S. study of patients in Seattle, only one of the seven patients older than 70 who were put on a ventilator survived; just 36% of those younger than 70&#8221; on a ventilator survived.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And in a study published by [the Journal of the American Medical Association] on Monday, physicians in Italy reported that nearly 90% of 1,300 critically ill patients with COVID-19 were intubated and put on a ventilator; only 11% received noninvasive ventilation. One-quarter died in the ICU; 58% were still in the ICU, and 16% had been discharged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not being put on a ventilator has a higher survivability rate than being put on ventilators. This is what they can\u2019t figure out. They\u2019re on the way to figuring out what this means &#8212; tests, studies and so forth going on. &#8220;Researchers in Wuhan,&#8221; for whatever it\u2019s worth here, &#8220;reported that, of 37 critically ill COVID-19 patients who were put on mechanical ventilators, 30 [of the 37] died within a month.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In a U.S. study of patients,&#8221; again, &#8220;in Seattle, only one of the seven patients older than 70 who were put on a ventilator survived; just 36% of those younger than 70&#8221; survived, 64% perished. &#8220;In a study published Monday&#8230;&#8221; No. The numbers running together with Italy.
