I feel I've already covered these points. To recap:

Some doctors are currently making a concerted effort to intentionally delay or avoid use of ventilators because they are concerned about the alarmingly high death rate associated with them. On the face of it, this implicitly admits that doctors haven't heretofore been exhausting all other treatment modalities before ordering use of a ventilator.

I don't know how to answer your last question. I've talked extensively about my firsthand experience with using alternative treatment modalities with my life threatening lung issues, but I'm not a doctor and I don't really have the background to assert anything more than I've already covered, which, as usual, is being dismissed by some commenters as anecdata.

Since I've already qualified it up front as "my firsthand personal experience," it seems entirely pointless to belabor any points about my opinions.

If the opinions of some random internet stranger (aka me) don't satisfy you and the opinions of medical professionals in the source I posted don't either, I think you probably need to do some digging to come up with the sorts of info that interest you.
