Why some doctors are moving away from ventilators for virus patients
Possibly, but they were only killing the Covid patients. The ventilators didn't change, there was no mention a change in demographics of those being put on ventilators, only the disease changed.

What seems more likely is that at the time the article was written, one month into the pandemic, they were just beginning to learn how deadly the virus was. Rather than a 50% survival rate for someone sick enough to be put on a ventilator, with this virus there was only a 20% survival rate.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
