I agree, ventilators are pretty extreme.  The Brits are finding that CPAP machines may suffice, avoiding damage to the trachea from intubation etc.

"Reports from Italy indicate that approximately 50% of patients given CPAP have avoided the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, reducing the demand on intensive care staff and beds."

Thanks CRS.  It makes me feel better about Cuomo's briefing yesterday where they're utilizing BiPaps.  Here's hoping they're saving ventilators for the more serious cases here in NY
