Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Its mechanism seems to be breathing suppression, so smoking or other cardiovascular problems (along with age) are a relevant factor. So, mechanically helping breathing while they are infected should help, should it not? i.e. CPAPs and the like?

It should, but that doesn't help much when there are 4x as many people needing ICU assistance than there are beds, machines, healthcare personnel, masks, etc. etc. Read this account from a doctor in Italy:https://twitter.com/jasonvanschoor/status/1237142891077697538 …
