Was this known at the time? If not, was it the best choice given the information then?

You say that as if there is a just one doctor running one hospital in the entire world. I'm also aware the CDC gives advice but was this part of it?

I really don't know, and I won't get drawn into an argument over it. I'm absolutely gobsmacked at people wanting to fight over this stuff. It's ridiculous.

It was what it was, and it is, what it is.

Still here, and still breathing, so that's a win, in my column.

It's almost become a religious argument. It's really weird.
Then why did you state your opinion?
What?
In one comment you said "just before I was going to go to hospital. Thank Cthulhu I didn’t go. They would have killed me, "

Then when asked why you would have died you said "In the early days, they jammed you onto a respirator. Apparently, this was the worst thing you could do."

Are you not implying doctors at hospitals were acting against your best interest? Specifically the use of "they" instead of saying "it would have killed me" (as in going to the hospital)
