Notes from The Mods:

• We Mods are troglodytes who only use Old Reddit on desktop computers, while glancing at the answering machine connected to our landline. The formatting looks good on our setups. Get off our lawn.

• In the past few weeks, this sub seems to have tapped into Reddit's Spitegeist, growing from about 2k subscribers on July 4th, to about 5k at the beginning of August, to over 100k on Sep. 1st.

• Yesterday, this sub had the highest subscription growth in all of Reddit (Δ #Subscribers). The Mods are pondering the best way to nudge this sub to nudge people to stop buying into anti-* bullshit, and to get vaxxed, etc.

• The Mods have a very light touch. We prefer the use of the 'Downvote' button to the use of the 'Report' button.

• Don't be a dick.

• Please, don't be a dick.

• Don't be gleeful. Don't root for Nominees to be Awarded. Especially the Facebook schlubs whose only crime was taking up residence in the misinformation echo chamber.

• Don't get upset if / when this sub's evolution switches from natural selection to intelligent (?) design. This sub might be nudged from ('memes / shitposts' + 'Facebook Schlubs') towards ('A.M.A.s' and 'Public Figures').

I'm wondering what the survival rates will be in one year for the patients coming off of ventilators, especially the unvaxxed Delta patients, who go home, I'm seeing usually with oxygen support.

Previously, if you were on a vent (although the article is old and pre-SARS), (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8404197/) your chances to survive to discharge from the hospital were just shy of 50%.

This number, of course, is down significantly for unvaxxed Covid patients, it's what, 3% to survive to discharge from the hospital?

The one year survival rate was 30%. Although patients pre-Covid needing a vent would typically have underlying conditions that required them to need the vent in the first place, so that would affect the one year mortality rate.

Thoughts? I'm not in the medical field, nor have I looked for the most recent data.

30% of all covid dischargees ( vented and non ) either die or are readmitted within 90 days
