Look at how many people are on respirators globally now, very few as a % of cases. The early market estimates were WAY off. COVID is being managed a lot differently to what it was in the early days, putting someone on a ventilator is a the last resort. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/08/18/ventilators-coronavirus-stockpile/
Instead of intubating patients — more common for hospitalized patients during the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic — doctors are more likely to turn to a variety of breathing treatments. They range from flipping patients onto their sides or stomachs to aid in breathing to using high-flow nasal cannula systems, or continuous or bilevel positive airway pressure machines used for patients with sleeping disorders.
