A "Corona EpiPen" would fix this.

Consider for a moment that the lethal mechanism of this virus is much like a peanut allergy when it kills - the body over reacts in a fast, strong effort to rid the body of a foreign invader. Of course peanut allergies constrict airways, whereas CV response (that kills) floods the lungs.

So, rather than this challenge to build respirators, how about finding a mechanism that quiets the body's over response?
