You're correct. Some of the reports I saw used some slightly misleading language (e.g. they were "optimistic because he was breathing unaided" and that he had "had oxygen" - which isn't quite the same as being on a ventilator) and I passed my misunderstanding on. The news I'm seeing is cautiously optimistic though.he apparently hasn't been on a ventilator
I hope that news is right. While I may not like his politics I think he's a great character and has been a pretty good leader over the last couple of weeks. I hope he pulls through.
On a side note, Trump has taken to blaming the WHO for this for being too "China-centric" and is threatening to withhold funding. Just What?!
