Everyday there seems to be a new treatmemt or discovery about fighting covid. The response is to ignore it and lock down tighter.

So, we’ll soon have a shortage of inhalers, and people with asthma will start to suffer more due to a lack of inventory. Seems that’s how things work now with anything associated with COVID-19.

Or maybe it’s because people with asthma can’t wear masks because they make them short of breath.

I wouldn’t know. I hardly ever use albuterol unless I’m coughing my guts up. I hope you never have that problem because being an Ahole is hard enough without adding additional problems.

I’ve been saying this since COVID started. Many of my friends with COVID are being prescribed medicines I regularly take.

Don’t worry. My 30 year old bachelor son had CoVid last week, and the doctor called in an Rx for an inhaler. He didn’t feel like he needed it, so he didn’t pick it up. Granted he wasn’t supposed to leave his apartment, and they wouldn’t deliver it, so good news for asthma patients. There’s still one out there waiting for you!

I have mild asthma and am basically ignoring all the COVID stuff. I think I’ve inky used the inhaler once in the last few months.

I use it every day, inhaler and nebulizer.

The whine comment was directed to me, not you.

Sorry you took it wrong.

Yeh I really did. Sorry. I take only the bare minimum to keep it under control. One puff a day from a steroid inhaler and the albuterol is my rescue inhaler but I hardly ever use it. I hate taking medicine. Stay well.

Also people with asthma may be smarter and not wear masks, given they have a medical condition that can exempt them from that.
