I believe this video provides important perspective from a New York doctor on what is being seen in New York City. It is 6 minutes long but may be the most important assessment of the situation in New York.
The ventilators, as normally used for SARS and COVID-19, appears to cause harm to the lungs in this situation rather than helping the patients.
Here are some things Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell observes (in my quick transcription and summary):
"We are operating under a medical paradigm that is not true."
The patients are slowly being starved of oxygen as if they were at the top of Mt. Everest.
The ventilators are normally used for people whose muscles are not working. But the current patients' lung muscles work fine.
This disease is different from anything found seen before.
Here is the doctors blurb on youtube:

This description sounds the most convincing of what I have heard so far.

Here is the doctors blurb on youtube:
I am a physician who has been working at the bedside of COVID+ patients in NYC. I believe we are treating the wrong disease and that we must change what we are doing if we want to save as many lives as possible. I welcome any feedback, especially from those bedside: doctors, nurses, xray techs, pharmacists, anyone and everyone. Does this sound wrong or right, is something more right? Please let me know. @cameronks
