Yes. I had complete lung collapse last year due to having COVID in early 2021. It's a very serious thing, and something that shouldn't be understated. Multiple emergency surgeries to save my life, relearning how to breathe and walk, took up a good bit of my life this past year. Some days are worse than others, I hide it well, but it's nearly impossible some days.

I was a skateboarder before, can't even cruise on it without gasping for breath soon after starting.

That sounds terrifying I’m sorry.

Are there any interventions that would prevent this? What was the acute cause that made the collapse happen?
