Putting people on vents was to kill them...the guidelines pushed bypassed normal breathing assist/CPAP methods because of "dangerous aerosolization risks".Most hospitals stopped putting people on vents once they saw 80-90% vent patients died.
Any virus (Covid included), bacteria, or fungi can overwhelm the body that can lead to secondary issues like pneumonia you are correct. But that alone doesn't mean anything.

Vents arent the way to go. It was a knee jerk reaction to what was happening. But none the issue was still low O2 stats.
Are low O2 stats a pretty typical finding in the flu as well?
yes, because low O2 stats are typical with pneumonia, which is typically why anyone is hospitalized from the flu.

Those secondary issues you mention are the majority reason for hospitalizations related to flu etc.
