You need the ventilators at some point because the virus does so much damage to your lungs. The ventilators are not treating the virus, they are trying to help the patient survive the damage the virus does to your lungs. You need to be careful with ventilators generally, because people who go on them are very, very sick, to the point that they can't get enough oxygen breathing for themselves, and all sorts of things can go wrong, both because they have other problems and because people are not designed to breathe through tubes stuck down their throats.
