A Ventilator forces oxygen into the lungs of person who is unable to breathe for themselves. If the patient is breathing by him/herself then an Oxygen mask would be sufficient. Ventilators do nothing to fight a virus but will spread a lung infection rapidly. One dose of HCQ could have given your friends' immune system the means to adapt faster to the virus and one dose of antibiotics could have held the lung infection at bay to buy him time, just like the flu.
