A member asked:
If everyone with covid-19 could go on assisted breathing/a ventilator, if needed, would they all survive the disease?

No: People on ventilators are still dying, so your question really makes no sense.

Unfortunately: Most patients with COVID that go in respiratory failure and end up needing mechanical ventilation do not survive.
