Summary
A 38-year-old asthmatic woman caught COVID-19 in February 2021 and was diagnosed with pneumonia on day 18 but was not admitted. She went to the ER four times with high fever and ambulatory hypoxia; a walk to her mailbox dropped her oxygen saturation to 64, and walking made her ears ring and left her lightheaded. Told to rest and wait it out, by late March she still could not walk far and was awaiting a pulmonologist.
