No. The numbers are 66% to 90% mortality rate (NY is 80%) on ventilators, and the survivors can't talk or climb a flight of stairs for an unknown amount of time. The current recommendation is to use a cannula with an oxygen bottle as long as possible (until the patient can't stop fainting.) There is no treatment yet. Your body can use the first week to try and recover itself, but after that most people die. From a public health policy, ventilators don't work, so they're not really part of the equation now as they were in March. What's misunderstood about ventilators is that being intubated requires general sedation and is more like major surgery than assistance.
