What do they do to treat that, short of a ventilator? Oxygen?

Yep, oxygen through nasal cannulas or some sort of oxygen injected into a CPAP / BiPAP system.

Shouldn't this be dealt with at home, then?

I don't know, but I suspect that those on oxygen may be sick enough that they should be carefully monitored, and have intervention available if they need it.

That's what I want to know. Do you just need oxygen tanks at home?
