I thoroughly agree, but most people have little science and seem confused, which can't help. The Federal Government's current TV scare-ad shows a young woman gasping deeply and rapidily for breath on a hospital bed who is on a "ventilator" according to the reputable ABC journalist (presumably informed via a Media Release). A ventilator, my foot. Anyone with even sketchy medical knowledge can see she's been fitted with a standard, nasal delivery tube which supplies enriched oxygen, but it's certainly not ventilator. And I doubt she'd have been breathing like that for long unless she's an Olympic Athlete. Confused advertising is no substitute for informed and honest communication, no matter how much energy & bluster accompanies its' delivery.
