The whole thread. Keep in mind cases are doubling in NY every 2.5 days. What does this look like next Tuesday?

My life looks pretty good right now compared to his. And to the lives of the people he is caring for.

Thanks for posting this. A real gut check.

In this context, what does it mean to be put on life support? Breathing tube? Anything else?

I think life support generally refers to anything done to keep you alive when some part(s) of your body are failing.

I think with this disease, probably a ventilator because of the pneumonia that the virus causes.
