Let's say that you're lucky and don't die from COVID19... you'll never be the same after being intubated and placed on a ventilator - NEVER! At least 5,000 people must be intubated per day in the U.S. But y'all wanted to gather for Thanksgiving 🦃

Anyone know where to find the daily people intubated per day in the U.S. This is a very important number to keep an eye on because it indicates the severity of disease in the community. It would also be great if they showed the number of patients on non-invasive ventilation too.
How many millions of Americans required this amount of oxygen support and were lucky to survive COVID19?? We're talking about MILLIONS of Americans who will have severe lung damage for the rest of their lives. 
It's inhumane to inflict suffering of this magnitude upon the American population. 100,000s will die from COVID19, but the TENS of MILLIONS who required oxygen support will suffer the rest of their lives from permanent lung damage. TENs of MILLIONS.. think about that!
We know there are more than 14.7 million infections in the U.S. Now we're averaging at least 1.3 million (confirmed) infections a week
