Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for pneumonia caused by coronavirus.

There's a better way of surviving pneumonia caused by the coronavirus that has not gotten any mention by any health officials or news outlets. It's extracorporeal membrane oxygenation that oxygenates your blood through a vein or artery versus using a ventilator to try and push oxygen in through your lungs that are all clogged up and being destroyed. Statistics show that you have a better chance of surviving Covid-19 virus if you're on an ECMO, instead of a ventilator but there are very few of them available anywhere. I live in a city that has only one major university hospital with these ECMO machines, so if you're lucky enough to go to a major university hospital ask them to give you ECMO oxygenation instead of a ventilator.
