You choke out when your airway or esophagus has something blocking it thus prohibiting air to get to your lungs. So stating it as he did was incorrect. Neither phlegm or anything else is creating an obstruction in your air way. The air you are desperately gasping to provide to your lungs, is unable to get to your lungs because fluid already occupies where the air would normally go.
The common man understands it choking on you phlegm caused by the disease attacking the lungs....he doesn’t careabout the yadadaada cytokines/yadadaad ace2 receptor...

And the common man wants simple to understand treatments to help him get thru the crisis and meds that will help.
