eh... you mean taking a crash course in operating a ventilator, or removing blood, re-oxygenating it and reinfusing? Because that seems to be what the worst cases will need depending on how much their lung function is impaired, plus all the other stuff to actually try and limit symptoms and manage vitals.
Really don't see many people being able to even do the ventilator bit properly unless they've had training. Best thing you can do at home is have the basics of thermometer, paracetamol and things like honey and lemon, rehydration stuff.

(As a complete layman) I'd guess you'd want something that can help get oxygen into them, so any form of a ventilator or even a CPAP machine/mask.

I have a question.
Working on the premise that there is a likelihood of many deaths from pneumonia (due to insufficient intensive care capacity): Is it wise to look into what exactly what caring for someone with pneumonia at home entails?
