COVID is even weirder than than.

The amount of CO2 in the lungs is what makes you want to take another breath....somehow COVID fools you into ignoring that, so your body doesn't feel the need for more oxygen when it requires more oxgen.

As doctors see more and more COVID-19 patients, they are noticing an odd trend: Patients whose blood oxygen saturation levels are exceedingly low but who are hardly gasping for breath.
These patients are quite sick, but their disease does not present like typical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a type of lung failure known from the 2003 outbreak of the SARS coronavirus and other respiratory diseases. Their lungs are clearly not effectively oxygenating the blood, but these patients are alert and feeling relatively well, even as doctors debate whether to intubate them by placing a breathing tube down the throat.

Plenty articles in the topic.

Reported from the UK early on that incubators gave the wrong treatment, what was wanted was out of body oxygenation of the blood

The Aviation industry was working on developing machines that would accomplish this
Most people that go on to ventilators die as a result of what the ventilator does

I have not heard anything more about it since

What we need is some sort of World medical body to properly coordinate the details of the virus and proper treatment

You know we could call it a World Health Organization or similar
