I know this is just one study but I think it's important considering there was a lot of press suggesting opposite. "In our setting, mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU was lower than in previously published studies." htt

@IshScience @gorskon It does appear that mortality, especially ICU mortality, has improved, probably in part to more finessed treatment protocols but also enough capacity... until capacity runs out. https://t.co/AjV9p5awKM

@joaonpramos @precordialthump @jeremyfaust @VPrasadMDMPH I think @precordialthump brings up a very important point. We found 15% mortality with more patients having been discharged home than the above NY paper. Will the RECOVERY results apply to our popula

Planning/capacity, strong sensible public health measures and likewise compliance do make a difference.
@laxswamy We are blessed to have her guiding our efforts. A major reason our outcomes are so good in British Columbia. https://t.co/gVFe7sSPAi
Interim results from 117 critically ill #COVID19 patients in Vancouver show lower mortality than other jurisdictions (15% mortality, with 10% still in ICU). Only 5 received targeted pharmacological treatments. Capacity to handle surge is more important! ht
Amazing work from our ICU teams across Vancouver! 🙌 And we're in the single digits for covid-19 patients in our ICUs now.

Lower mainland hospital ICUs did not get swept under the tsunami of #COVID19 and as a result we had safe staffing ratios (just one reason) that allowed the mortality rate to be relatively low compared to other parts of the world https://t.co/el9ZqkkK1B
