Agreed on that point, but, for a normal healthy person at rest, O2 dropping below 95 is not normal. If I felt respiratory sick and dropped below 95 I'd be headed to get monoclonal treatment. (I'm over 65.) Below 94, speed limits would be significantly violated. One can't even get the monoclonals much below that, in most cases, as then they do more harm than good. (Note that I normally read 98 on my oximeter, sometimes 99, once or twice after some exertion have seen 97. They do vary a bit from device to device, unless one has a lab grade, calibrated oximeter, so, if one has not established a solid baseline "healthy" reading for oneself, and only starts testing when feeling poorly, subtract at least "1" and maybe "2" from the reading. Better safe than sorry.)
Somewhat the same on temperature: If my temperature is above 102 deg. F and rising, I'm out the door. MOST people with COVID who "feel like they are going to die" recover just fine.* BUT, condition can degrade very quickly in some cases: If temp or O2 look alarming, don't mess around. Regardless of some nutty opinions on here, if measurement says you are declining into dangerous territory, get professional help, fast. A few years ago my brother foolishly thought he could finish out his shift and go to a clinic. Instead his flu put him in the ICU this || far from not making it.
*Our local docs say our ER's are slammed with such cases at present.
Great info. Forwarded to Katy.
Thanks and God bless you.
