Condolences to Art, though I doubt he reads this board. He earned his money by providing entertainment. I doubt he believes in everyrthing that went out over the air during his show.
I hope some good comes of this by highlighting the dangers that face even a mildly asthamtic person. Status asthmaticus is oftenn fatal unless agressively treated.
God bless Art and all concerned.
Sorry about the typos. Typing in the dark :)
