Exactly. And if you’ve never been around someone with lung issues, it’s an ugly sight. I have an uncle that had bad COPD and eventually got a lung transplant. Before he got that though, it got to where he could only breath somewhat comfortable standing up. He literally wore the finish off a spot near their table where he would stand leaning against the kitchen table propping himself up. He did that for nearly a year, before he started the long recovery from having a lung transplant.
I hope we don’t see a rash of people needing lungs in the next several years, but the early reports on long covid and lung damage are scary as hell.
