Inappropriate (or rather, best-we-can-think-of-at-the-time-which-we-later-improved) treatment still saved many lives compared to the toughing it out at home approach.
Doctors already know ventilation is bad for people; they were only doing it for people who would otherwise die.
In the UK at least, we're seeing a fatality rate of perhaps 50% what it was in March due to some drug treatments and better use of ventilation (especially prone).
But without treatment, the virus would be perhaps 2 or 3 times more deadly (as was seen in Wuhan when hospitals were overwhelmed).
