Yup. I'm actually a cpr trainer, so that's why it's a pet peeve.
In the past, we still taught CPR as 30 compressions and 2 breaths, and explained that people had the option of just doing straight compressions without the breaths. But since all this started, we've been told by the AHA, in no uncertain terms, that we should not be practicing rescue breathing at this time and for the foreseeable future.
