I've been having this problem lately where I'm really short of breath, sort of like when I had asthma a few years ago. But it's weird because I don't have a cough or anything else with it. It's starting to worry me a bit. Do you think it could be the asthma coming back, or could it be something else? What should I do about it?

I'm trying to understand the corona severity score which is out of 40. Could you explain what that means? Like, what's considered a normal score for someone with COVID? I'm concerned about what these numbers indicate for a patient's condition.
