“If you don’t get it right away, it’s death.” Oxygen buys time for COVID-19 patients but is scarce for the poor. By lhinnant carleypetesch pulitzercenter.

Medical workers offload cylinders of oxygen at the Donka public hospital where coronavirus patients are treated in Conakry, Guinea, on Wednesday, May 20, 2020. Before the coronavirus crisis, the hospital in the capital was going through 20 oxygen cylinders a day. By May, the hospital was at 40 a day and rising, according to Dr. Billy Sivahera of the aid group Alliance for International Medical Action.

But a massive production increase or an impromptu private marketplace are both out of reach in Guinea, where GDP per capita is $850. His death sparked a furor in Guinea, prompting denials from the health minister that Ly had received anything except the best care. “Oxygen has been missing on the global agenda for decades,” said Leith Greenslade, a global health activist with the coalition Every Breath Counts.

Everywhere that oxygen is scarce, pulse oximeters to measure blood-oxygen levels are even scarcer. By the time lips turn blue, a frequent measure used, a patient is usually beyond saving.

Scarce medical oxygen worldwide leaves many gasping for lifeCONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Guinea’s best hope for coronavirus patients lies inside a neglected yellow shed on the grounds of its main hospital: an oxygen plant that has never been turned on.... .......guess all of that died in the nursing homes in NY won’t get this tweet...... Sad! Very true, one life is not worth more than the other. Therefore instead of labeling 'black' lives matter, all lives matter...equally One life is not worth more than another - biggest bullshit on the Earth. Yes, some people are worth more to the society then others therefore must be protected by the society. Don't tell me if you had to chose between scientist and a homeless drunkard, you would chose a drunkard.
