I think "may not survive" is setting the wrong tone here since the odds of him surviving are good.

  Consider that people in ICU have a much higher mortality rate than the general population, that the government is going to bias their reports towards calm and stability, and that most people would even call a 20% probability of dying pretty bad. Saying that “he may not survive“ is perfectly reasonable. It’s not saying he’s definitely going to die. I hope the media wouldn’t sensationalize it like this, but there is definitely a chance that he will die.

    There's 66% - 90% mortality after ventilator use by corona patients.
