Even *if* all you get is the equivalent of sudden onset asthma, sudden onset asthma is *brutal*. I have to take an inhaler every 3 hours. Anything resembling smoke and my lungs shut down. If I am not always always adequately medicated, my brain fog is so extreme I can't speak -

- because I can't get enough oxygen to my brain. I'll be toodling along, doing fine, and suddenly my lungs will be so bad that I get very little oxygen to my brain, and I'll lose 100% of whatever I was just doing.
I'd never had asthma attacks, and now I regularly do.

I can't cook because the stove sets my lungs off. I can barely be *inside* if @LFG_arrett is cooking because the stove sets my lungs off. Sometimes even 5 or 6 hours after cooking I have to stay in the bedroom with all the doors closed and my rescue inhaler on hand.
My doctors don't know if maybe I had a very early case of covid or some other virus ruined my lungs, but they will literally never be the same. You do not want sudden onset asthma as an adult.
Also I have to *foam roll* my ribs regularly to get them to open after the muscles lock from trying so hard to get air in.
