SEE IT: COVID doctor creates video simulating infected patients’ final moments before dying

This coronavirus doctor is literally scaring people to death to wear facial masks.

Dr. Kenneth Remy, who works at Missouri Baptist Medical Center in St. Louis, recently posted a graphic video of himself simulating the final, frantic moments of a severely ailing COVID-19 patient.

Using a laryngoscope blade and endotracheal tube as props, he mimicked the labored breathing of a person being placed on a ventilator.

“This is what it looks like when you breathe 40 times a minute,” Remy gravely intoned in the 78-second video. “I hope that the last moments of your life don’t look like this.”

The doctor then stressed the importance of coronavirus protection in avoiding a trip to the hospital.

“Because this is what you’ll see at the end of your life if we don’t start wearing masks when we’re out in public,” explained the physician. “Because I promise you, this will be what you see. I promise you, this is what your mother or your father or your children when they get COVID disease will see at the end of their lives.”

Remy said he made the video out of frustration after witnessing dozens of coronavirus patients being wheeled into the hospital.

“We can’t build any more capacity,” Remy stated to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “You can’t grow medical staff if they’re getting sick.”

“It’s the worst way to ever start a conversation,” Remy told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Remy wonders why some citizens still refuse to wear masks and convene for mass gatherings.

While understanding the desire to ensure personal liberties, he is frustrated by patients on their deathbed confiding that they wished they hadn’t gone to a big party where nobody sported personal protection.

“Wearing a mask and not getting the disease is the best way for you to protect your personal liberties,” Remy explained. “Your personal liberty won’t matter to you when I put a breathing tube in you and then you die.”

Over the past seven days, 78 Missourians have died from COVID-19, according to a state coronavirus dashboard. During the past week, nearly 25,000 cases had been confirmed in the Show Me State, according to data released on Tuesday.

The fatality total in the U.S. exceeded 259,000 victims on Tuesday, noted the Johns Hopkins University health tracker. Nearly one in five of the 1.4. million global COVID-19 deaths have occurred in America.
