It seems to indicate triage,inflammatory marker blood test,leave isolated at home with F& P nasal cannula produce the best outcomes

Only 20 % survive intensive care & ventilators

Perhaps that's because only the most advanced/severe cases get to ICU and ventilators?

Agree but all the c@#p about car companies etc making ventilators cutting FPH future earnings is just c@*p when 88% of their earnings is consumables & their masks delivering high moisture air is best fit for purpose to treat Covid 19 patients

Actually in the UK, some of the most severe cases do not get ventilators, as ventilators are being rationed to those they think may stand a better chance of surviving.

Thankfully we have had a government that did not muck around as much as Boris Johnson's government did. He acted as though he was in charge of Heath Service that had been as well resourced as Germanys.

Here's a NY Times on the rationing of ventilators in the USA

I wonder what they allowed for in 2021 for R&D.
Typically 9-10% but in these unprecedented times could go lighter.
$120 m in 2020 on TO $1.2 b?
if hold it at this
$120 m in 2021 on TO $1.6 b ?
Margin improved by $40 m?
Who knows
