pookycade Thank you for your insight. I have a question. This may sound ridiculous. I have heard about shortages of respirators. Is there any chance bipaps used for sleep apnea could help victims that might have a bad case of COVID-19, but not so bad that they require a full blown respirator. I don't think it'd take much to modify a bipap to help someone. I know these are prescribed and fine tuned for the patient, but I think all of them could be tweaked for other patients.
I no longer need to use a bipap since I had surgery to clear out all of the crap in my throat that was blocking up my airways (the surgeon was impressed with my hideous looking tonsils when he yanked them ). I think I have two of them laying around. It'd be nice if they could be put to use.
