Yes, I was aware that oxygen is toxic at high pressure. One thing you don't mention, is that lack of oxygen, as with a serious COVID case, also causes death.

- nradov 5y agoPulmonary oxygen toxicity is a well known issue. Critical care providers have established guidelines for duration, concentration, and flow rate to limit toxic effects. There are also some medications to mitigate damage. In severe cases of respiratory distress sometimes a high level of supplementary oxygen is the only way to keep a patient alive.
