So yes, a person with a good "lung health" score (for want perhaps of a better term) avoids that fate while someone with a lower score might face greater difficulties. This implies of course a certain predictive effect (and I think there have been efforts to predict outcomes in people especially those where a decision about ventilator use is required) but I'm hoping to keep it simpler - more along the lines of "get the bike out, do the test(s) at home, repeat". I'm also thinking that this is really only for people aged 50 - 70 who are in a realistic position to act on it.
