"We can never get rid of it because of animal reservoirs"

It can be a thing, but a lot of times it's much more complicated (surprise!) than what a media headline reports. In your friend's case, ECMO is usually done at a CVICU (cardiac). Not all hospitals, even metro-area hospitals, have that capability (or capacity may be limited because it's not a specialty). So it's possible in your friend's case, it wasn't that there weren't any "COVID wards" available because "capacity," but instead, just normal CVICU availability. I get the end result may be the same, but it's not just because the hospital is "at COVID capacity."

Another thing that can happen is physical space. There may be plenty of capacity, but managing patient space has to be updated. There was a stretch in late 2020 and/or early 2021 where my wife's Peds CVICU unit got moved over to the PICU because they didn't have a lot of patients. They then moved adult COVID patients into the Peds CVICU just to have a place to put them, but capacity itself wasn't the issue. After a couple of weeks, they cleared out the adults as they worked through patient load and then moved the Peds unit back into their original spaces.

Thank you for the explanation.

Still no change, 3+ weeks with a ventilator, 2+ weeks with the ECMO machine and sedated the entire time. His incapacitation is a reminder: make sure that you have your wills done and a power of attorney completed (regardless of how you feel about a vaccine - it is equally applicable to a car wreck or anything else)

Honest question: Why has the FDA issued a warning about using Ivermectin to fight COVID and others, like the doctor in the video praise it?

Another published medical article states "Overall, the reliable evidence available does not support the use ivermectin for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 outside of well-designed randomized trials."

Because The Science(TM) is different here than in Peru and Israel.

I have a sneaking suspicion it’s for the same reason that Dr. Fauci castigated the Sturgis bike rally yet said nothing about Lollapalooza and Barack Obama’s 60th birthday party. Turns out political science is the science that rules them all.

Is Ivermectin a safe way to fight COVID-19 as Delta-variant cases rise?

Repurposed, inexpensive drug Ivermectin may help in battle against COVID-19.

Keep in mind the reasoning revealed through FOIA behind reversing decades of study showing the ineffectiveness of masks was that “maskier” countries like Japan and S Korea were seeming to do well in early 2020
