The mortality for those receiving invasive mechanical ventilation is almost *identical* to wave 1
And that is before we even know everyone’s outcomes (29.8% undetermined outcome)
The mortality for all ventilated wave 2 patients so far is 45.6% (wave 1 = 47.7%)

And we haven’t even had the 5 days of Christmas mixing yet
