Yes, it turns out the Tesla devices were actually more practical than first thought.
The caveats are:
1) Would US hospitals accept or recommend them?
2) If US hospitals accepted them, was there an acceptable solution to the aerosolization problem? Wuhan hospitals were segregated into corona and non-corona locations, so aerosolization wasn't a problem for other patients, but I don't know if US hospital systems got that organized.
I highly recommend reading the Wuhan accounts and papers. They really moved fast on improving their response, which the US totally ignored. Only now, Apr. 26, are we catching up to what they found in Jan./Feb. I doubt if it affected the body count much, but time was wasted.
Instead HN wasted months on endless navel-gazing and "IFR vs. CFR" chatter. Really a new low for HN.
