ukrules Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 He's conscious but can't speak which suggests he's wearing some kind of higher than normal pressure mask or helmet type device like I've seen in use in Italy during the pandemic on TV clips. That he's not in an induced coma and being mechanically ventilated via intubation is encouraging - at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
