That's what my friend said, too, but it didn't linger there for long and I felt comfortable enough with my breathing that I didn't feel it warranted going to the hospital. As my symptoms got better it gradually improved and the last time I did a reading it was at 99%, which I think is where I normally am (it's not something I measured before this though). I only suggest that it was the "light" version because it seems like the advanced cases develop into pneumonia and I definitely didn't have pneumonia. The breathing problems felt no worse than a bad cold to me. I have asthma and bad allergies, so it could just be that I'm somewhat used to sub-par breathing in general. I also know of some breathing exercises that always seem to help.
