What is the survival rate of covid 19 pneumona if the person needs oxygen but not ventilator yet?

Good survival.: As long as you have no other co-morbidity, you should be fine. If you are obese, diabetic, or have a lung disease you need to be followed by your PCP.

COVID 19: Many different factors would go into looking at that survival rate. However, the reference I included may help to examine your question. Mortality rates are higher for inpatient on supplemental oxygen. REF: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/critical-care/oxygenation-and-ventilation/
