The physicians treating this woman have done their very best to help her recover, but it appears that they have run out of options. The human body can only take so much, and COVID affects everyone differently, even healthy people. Vaccines are available to help prevent these sort of unnecessary deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/index.html

I am sorry . It is difficult to answer as there is limited information . How long has is she in induced coma? What are the oxygen readings ? Have remdesivir , monoclonal antibodies, steroids (anti inflammatories) been tried ? Was she placed prone? suctioned often? What is her liver and kidney function ? Does she have a bacterial infection also? Small or university hospital?Good luck, God bless
