All COVID-19 patients are intubated to control aerosol creation.

  That sounds extreme. Do you have a citation?

    Not the op and I don't have a source available but I read the same earlier this week (can't find out were though :/)

  That is not true. Some are intubated if the mask respirators fail to provide proper oxygenation, but it is by no means the default. Source: my sister is a nurse at a hospital treating dozens of COVID-19 patients.

    Sorry, I ment for ventilation. This is from a report in one hospital and it's possible other controls are being used. We are all rooting for your sister.
