Another NY Times article. This one talks about how COVID pneumonia is completely unlike "normal" pneumonia, and that lying on your stomach or side when you have lung infections is much better for you. Entire article is worthwhile, one of the best I've seen about the disease.

Quote:
Patient positioning maneuvers (having patients lie on their stomach and sides) opens up the lower and posterior lungs most affected in Covid pneumonia. Oxygenation and positioning helped patients breathe easier and seemed to prevent progression of the disease in many cases. In a preliminary study by Dr. Caputo, this strategy helped keep three out of four patients with advanced Covid pneumonia from needing a ventilator in the first 24 hours .
