I've been looking over the patents for the Bird ventilator in my spare

Don't know if he was related to the other Bird family in this area which
has been an asphalt roofing shingle manufacturer since the late 18th
century.
It's a fascinating device and very clever in its relative simplicity
using two chambers of differential pressure and a sensitive
magnetically-clutched valve and venturi-system to sense back-pressure as
the lungs fill and regulate inhalation volume accordingly, and continue
to deliver pressure even if a leak develops in the system. No
electronics, runs on 50 psi source air pressure, almost no springs or
contacting moving parts to wear out.

Much of what you say is true and Tomas Pueyo does not know, is in fact WRONG! 99% is not a valid number for survival and there are a portion of the survivors who are permanently scarred. Even if the death rate is only 1%, that's no small number.

A lot of his graphs are dated. He doesn't know much about mathematical modeling of infectious disease, he ignores the fact that 99% of people recover and the course of illness is relatively short, 99% of these people don't require hospitalization, therefore his death estimates are wildly inflated. His education is in business, he's an ignorant sensationalist looking to make a buck somehow. It's a waste of time reading his stupid crap. This misinformation belongs in the same toilet as the chloroquine and vaccine will be ready in 12 months fiction.
Sure, you can have all sorts of fun with a math model. Or a
spreadsheet. But the chloroquine might help, seems to help.
Flu viruses tend to mutate to be less lethal. It's not in their
interest to quickly kill the hosts that spread them.
But what impresses me is that an entire planet worth of viruses mutate
together. No one virus mutates and passes the less-lethal trend to its
offspring.
The people who study these things think this one we have now is some kind of hybrid of two wild strain corona viruses that exist naturally in nature. This would strengthen the theory that mixing up the animals in wild meat markets created the virus. Probably a bat/pangolin merger, or interspecies zoonosis.

Why not focus on meaningful information? The disease overwhelmed the medical system in parts of China, killed thousands of people, put large areas in total lock down and cost many millions/billions of dollars. Who cares if there were a lot of infected who didn't matter other than the fact that they caused a lot of infections?

That guy doesn't know much about epidemiology and more importantly immunology. For instance the idiot thinks mutation is a function of susceptible population size. The idiot has no idea of the fact that each replication presents an opportunity for mutation, and within just a single individual there are billions if not trillions of replications. A lot of his graphs are dated. He doesn't know much about mathematical modeling of infectious disease, he ignores the fact that 99% of people recover and the course of illness is relatively short, 99% of these people don't require hospitalization, therefore his death estimates are wildly inflated.

Much of what you say is true and Tomas Pueyo does not know, is in fact WRONG! 99% is not a valid number for survival and there are a portion of the survivors who are permanently scarred. Even if the death rate is only 1%, that's no small number.
Columbia school of public recently published results from China showing that a full 86% either don't know they have it or the symptoms were too mild to seek medical treatment. Their infections were not even recorded iow. This fact reduces the early hysterical mortality estimates by 86%.
Then the hysterical MSM is now publishing misleading headlines like 10,000 NEW CASES IN NEW YORK. When they should be saying 10,000 more cases uncovered as testing expands.
Even if that is true, it doesn't change the 3,200 dead before they got it under control in China.
