Review of COVID-19 Paper Results: Patients

In this video I go over the results section of the main paper on COVID-19 "virus" isolation and look at the first part which is on the patients used in the paper. Three adult patients with severe pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs) were admitted in a Wuhan hospital in December 2019. Patients 1 and 3 survived but Patient 2 died after being put on a mechanical ventilator (it is not clear if the other patients were also put on a mechanical ventilator or not). No biopsy or tissue samples were obtained from any of the samples. CT scans were provided for Patient 2 and showed cloudy regions termed "bilateral fluffy opacities". Personally, there was nothing significant with these 3 patients, besides possibly the use of mechanical ventilation in making the patients pneumonia worse...
