Dr. Vin Gupta: Would You Rather Wear a Mask or Be on a Ventilator?

EXCERPT:

GUPTA: “Number one, I would say — and I’m from rural Ohio, as is my wife, so this advice should not be viewed through a partisan lens. We’re all Americans, we all want what’s best for each other, ideally. I want what’s best for the President’s health, for example. But what I would say, number one, is is it more inconvenient to wear a mask or is it more inconvenient to be on a ventilator? And the reason why I’m saying that is it’s extremely — this virus is coming for us all, whether we like it or not. It’s coming for us all. I’ve seen young individuals with a stroke in the setting of COVID-19 who were previously healthy 48 hours prior, on a ventilator, their parents can’t even see them because we don’t allow visitors to actually be in the room. This can come for us all, regardless of your political beliefs, so that’s number one.”
