"I’m 65 with seasonal asthma..."

I'm about the same age and have a condition that causes a more general congestion that includes asthma-like trouble breathing, but I might be able to beat it. Working on that.

People just need to learn to calm down and breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. The belly should rise with each breath--not the chest. That's difficult to do with asthma (especially during an attack), but it helps to try.

Agree! I take vitamin D, zinc, C, and the other recommended supplements, wear the mask in crowds, and keep my hands clean. I’m healthy but was born with asthma so I have to be careful. I think I had it in March but they wouldn’t test me because I didn’t have a fever. She prescribed steroids, a Z-pack, and prescription cough meds. I eventually got better.
