The pandemia of COVID-19 is considered as "ventilator dependent" disease. In a short study there are presented data from Switzerland showing that there was only short period of time when most of ventilators were needed, and moreover, their lack is highly probably not associated with increased frequency of deaths. COVID-19 showed us, that others parameters such as number of hospitalizations, patients on ICUs and ventilated patients may be important epidemiological markers.
