O2 Concentrator

2021-05-11 20:04:44
Since the situation is getting worse and there is a shortage of O2. And in case of emergency, patients are getting critical within the time we are trying to arrange an O2. Also Hoarding O2 is ethically incorrect & illegal right now. So can I purchase an Oxygen Concentrator? Will it be useful in emergency purposes???
