As someone who's been on the other side of the doors...hooked onto a bipap machine the virus is no hoax "it is not a joke.
When you're on the end of it and feel like you can't breathe, there's no greater feeling of fear than i've had in my life than not being able to breathe.
Even with the bipap machine on, i just remember that feeling when it came off and i couldn't catch my breathe.
