Major thanks for bringing these to my attention! We (the body) managed to get COVID in the same day Jay's grandfather succumbed to pneumonia and liver cancer. Now I'm starting to wonder if it contributed to his ultimate demise too...
In any case, without our cortiosteroid inhaler, we end up coughing all the time. It helps controlling it somewhat. COVID + Asthma = Bad time. We're lucky that we got out of it lightly. Many people aren't so lucky! So mask up during COVID and flu season! If the Japanese can do it, why can't we? At least that would be one habit I wouldn't mind people having!
