CPAPs, no. CPAPs are great for what they are, giving OSA patients some of their health back, the capacity to sleep and feel rested back.

BiPAPs were used during COVID to the point of running out, daily. A device called AirVo was also used. The goal, after the initial months and better understanding of what was being dealt with, was to stay off vents as long as possible. BiPAPs did that for many people. BiPAPs are also a reason families were banned. The high velocity forced air exchange through the lips and mouth makes the wearer feel thirsty, and visitors kept trying to jam straws in there only to have the air blast blow water straight into the lungs.

I expect most people to be grey at baseline, but I’m also not surprised by any of this info. That said, HuffPost isn’t the greatest.
