Interesting. I watched the video below last night (physician at Cornell Medical in NYC). Skip to about 45:45. Very different summary of what's he seen so far. Shortness of breath that bad, get put on a vent, off the vent 7-10 days later (barring any major complications; maybe this "exception" is more frequent than suggested?). They have about 14 days of experience with this at this point -- maybe not enough cases to say this is the "norm".

Not trying to challenge what you're sharing at all, Joey (I'm a Joey too!). Appreciate all the insight you have provided us in this thread and I hope your daughter is feeling better by the day. Just wanted to share another physician's account that I just listened to last night.
