Hypoxia and hypoxemia are two different entities. Correcting hypoxemia without hypoxia tends to have disastrous effects and delays lung healing. In this study, we share a case of an elderly man with moderate COVID‐19 who never received any form of supplemental oxygen as compared to other patients with similar presentation.
