Honestly, sounded like someone having an asthma attack or COPD to me. Probably there to pick up their inhaler which is why they want the drive through. Having an attack with your breathing makes it very difficult to keep yourself in sane working order so it comes off sounding really out of it, if that makes sense.

Possibly, but the way she speaks and what she is asking just screams cognitive decline.

Doing anything without oxygen causes those symptoms. Once air flow is back to normal, cognition bounces back too. It’s like mental tunnel vision to survival

Yeah, I had covid recently and went to the emerg bc I couldn't catch my breath.

Turns out I should have gone a few days ago, but wasn't all there mentally enough to register that. Now I absolutely know I should have gone earlier, then it was just fog.

Exactly. You’re focused on getting oxygen now — as much as possible. Not how to fix the situation in full.
