What is the best defense against COVID 19 ?
All people who mouth breathe, have any asthma or hayfever, snore loudly and often, have sleep apnoea, have anxiety & panic episodes or have nasal problems are particularly at risk of COVID-19 infection because -
1. They all breathe approx 3 times the normal volume of air. (elevated minute volume)

2. Mouth breathing means no filtering of what is in the air.
3. They have a poor immune system due to the poor oxygen transfer from blood to tissues explained here Bohr Effect https://youtu.be/Zh7HjakgG8E , this is why asthmatics are always worse when they get sick
The best defence against virus infection and increase recovery is to Retrain Breathing closer to normal.
