>>unlikely the Boris will be taking up space in the ITU without being intubated!?
Not necessarily - there is support below the level of intubation that can be provided, such as high flow oxygen via rebreather bags.
This is an interesting (and a tad graphic) account of a Covid-19 infection with so-called cytokine storm (where the immune system goes mental fighting the virus causing it's own complications)
It is by an American respiratory specialist ("pulmonologist") who is now at home recuperating.
