I feel very sorry for anyone with ongoing and severe asthma who lives with this fear all of the time.


I will do all I can to avoid respiratory illness in general and Covid in particular.

If I was 30 again my outlook on future lifestyle would be different but I’m not,I’m 60 next year and I believe in being careful.
It is terrifying. Only had one really bad one but never forgot it! Went blue and an ambulance was called, somehow got some breath back.
