(22,403 posts)1. David Lat Put on Ventilator, in Critical Condition With COVID-19 Infection
https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2020/03/21/david-lat-is-put-on-ventilator-as-his-covid-19-condition-worsens/?slreturn=20200222000002
David Lat is in critical condition and has been has been put on a ventilator at NYU Langone Hospital in Manhattan, where his fight with the coronavirus has taken a turn for the worse, according to his husband, Zachary Baron Shemtob.
In a phone interview on Saturday evening, Shemtob said that at some point late Friday night or early Saturday morning, Lat, founder of the legal blog Above the Law and now a widely recognized legal recruiter, was put on a ventilator after his oxygen levels dropped.
Hes not doing great, Shemtob said, adding that the NYU Langone doctors and other staff are really attending to him. Theyre taking it hour by hour, day by day.

There's also plenty of young adults on ventilators right now. Very scary.

They both have been practical, and now thankfully our daughter has been furloughed. Our son works at a medical equipment shop. His plant makes a part for insulin pumps, but he thinks they may shift production if they are called to do so.

either that equipment shop decides to do it on their own or it doesn't get done.
hope everyone in your family stays safe and healthy.
