You land. You go into isolation. You have one positive patient in the group. Now what? A new 14 days? Where would it end?

What kills you?
The second patient, a 69-year-old man, also had acute respiratory distress syndrome.

He was attached to an artificial lung or ECMO (extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation) machine but this wasn't enough.

He died of severe pneumonia and septic shock when his blood pressure collapsed.
Isn't this bacteriological? i.e. a secondary infection. If so, it's a fast transition.
