I read this part last night and it stuck with me. That's amazing presence of mind because I'd be in a panic not being able to breathe. 7% is NOTHING.
>The primary symptom that arose was a shortness of breath. Somewhere i had read the virus typically takes blood oxygenation down to 7%. With this in mind i stopped all activities (exertions) including eating, moving thinking etc. i just sat still and eventually was able to go into deep sleep.
>The calmness was very important. Damage from most any disease is caused in large part (likely over 90%) by the action we take, not the "bug". This ranges from an overexcited immune response to the direct damage to tissues by our conscious actions, especially in this case the breathing apparatus.
>i found asserting calmness by slowing the out breath was most consonant. A quick inhale and a slow exhale allowed me to best utilize that measly 7% (and i did indeed feel it!); and it reduced one of my few remaining exertions: breathing.
