Patient in early 50s who has a history of SARS when it was going round. Presents with shortness of breath, oxygen saturation in high 80s despite no chronic pulmonary disease. The patient seems to be coping well, but when do you decide to proceed to intubation assuming this is COVID-19? Watch and observe until they begin to deteriorate, or intubate while still well?
