Re: [FRIAM] New information on COVID-19

Our microbiologist daughter in New Zealand told us to get a pulse oximeter. She told us on March 31. I ordered from Amazon on April 1. Amazon says it shipped on April 16. We haven’t gotten it yet. We have Amazon Prime, but the order is being fulfilled by another company. In this case, I think A

Remind me, someone. Why are we all buying oximeters? I thought the burden of the Times article was that IF you are sick from a “cold”, don’t wait to test your O2 levels until you EXPERIENCE difficulty breathing, because by then it might be too late. Do you all have colds? I suppose, given t

The point is that if you check your blood oxygen level you might catch the problem before it is so bad that you have to be put on a ventilator and probably won’t survive. Ed ___ Ed Angel Founding Director, Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory (ARTS Lab) Professo

Re: [FRIAM] New information on COVID-19y bb

Excellent idea.  After reading the article Merle linked, I ordered one myself. I also found that rumor has it that an oximeter will be built into the next Apple watch and the next Watch OS.  There is also a possibility that the software will work with existing Apple watches. I just made a su

Re: [FRIAM] New information on COVID-19y bb

Or, the point is that you could survey for blood oxygen levels as a proxy for the wet testing that isn't available. Given severe lung damage from even mild cases, it might also proxy for the immune testing that still isn't available either. -- rec -- On Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 12:08 PM Edward Angel

Re: [FRIAM] New information on COVID-19y bb

Thanks, Ed. You are exactly right. A friend of my daughter's in Boulder who is in her late forties but has some health challenges, felt ill back toward the middle of March. She called her doctor who then asked her to check her oxygen level. It was way below 90 and he then treated her for pneumo

Incidentally, I have been on e-mail threads like this where someone on the list (who may have been imported on the fly) shames the correspondents, or even punishes them, for not being inclusive.That said, I’ve seen interviews with Shakira and it became clear to me she is a reductionist when
