CPR in COVID-19 patients has a low survival rate

The overall 30-day survival rate for COVID-19 patients receiving CPR was 4 (2.9%) patients, but only 1 (0.7%) had a favorable neurologic outcome at 30 days and just 18 (13.2%) patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). These figures are from a study of 136 COVID-19 patients who received CPR at a hospital in Wuhan, China.
As is true in most studies of COVID-19, two-thirds of the patients were male, and 105 (77%) were greater than 60 years old. The arrest was due to respiratory issues in 119 patients, cardiac in 10, and other in 7.
A rapid response team responded to all resuscitations—23 (17%) occurring in intensive care units. In all, 132 had witnessed cardiac arrests. The initial rhythm detected was asystole in 122 patients, ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia in 8, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA) in 6; ROSC occurred in 11 (9%) with asystole, 6 (75%) with V fib/tach, and 1 (16.7%) with PEA...
For comparison, a 2016 paper about the outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest in 12 Beijing hospitals reviewed 2712 patients with about half suffering arrests from primarily cardiac causes. Survival to discharge occurred in 6.1% of those over 60 years old vs. 12.8% for patients 60 and under.Of the 1340 (49%) with asystole, 64 (4.8%) survived to discharge compared to 22% survival for the 423 patients with ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia.

George and Jolly,
If I understand, someone receiving CPR is because they stopped breathing. So that means that they have some serious problems.
Would the survival rate be much higher for a "normal" sickness or accident where someone gets CPR? It is probably not 3%, but curious if you have any idea how high or how low it would be.

The data abstracted were compared, and any discrepancies were resolved by consensus discussion. For the subset of studies meeting the strict criteria, the overall rate of immediate survival was 40.7% and the rate of survival to discharge was 13.4%.

Gee, on doctor shows they always seem to work splendidly.

Frankly, I was surprised that it was as high as 13%.
