New Zealand has been one of the most locked down countries in the world for the past two years. Subsequently very few Covid19 infections to date and only 53 deaths (with or of Covid19) out of a population of 5M. While 90% of the population have been doubly vaccinated we have almost no natural immunity.
Recently the new Omicron variant has hit these shores and out in the community. The health system is not well equipped to handle the large number of expected cases. I had the LDS fill all five of my scuba tanks with 40% nitrox thinking that it may be useful if one of our family developed breathing difficulties but was unable to get a spot in the hospital.
I welcome information from medically qualified SB members on the advisability of this idea.
