COVID Vaccine !

[midlife]

94% SpO2 is the lowest limit I am taught to accept as being safe if I am monitoring for any reason, any lower and I get twitchy and reach for the oxygen. Something to do with oxygen dissociation curves.

What does this mean?

See post 4364, if your oxygen sats are that low you are really not well and are a whisker away from being in hospital.

OK then, perhaps everyone won't get it.

Perhaps those that do won't get seriously ill.

Happy?

Yes. Not as happy of all the pharma companies who’ve made billions out of the tax payers though.

94 % spO2 is good for your age. In super fit people it can dip down much lower at night.

I was advised if it dropped to 93% i should dial 999 immediately.
Apparently there's a narrow window to give you oxygen boost before things turn nasty quite quickly.
It's been a slow climb upwards over 10 days & now hovering at 96/97%.
I don't normally use Salbutamol because my asthma is well controlled but for 2 days i was puffing at it faster than Chris Froome on race day!

You people measure your Oxygen levels?

DR gave me a pulse oxymeter to measure for 14 days. Temp, pulse & SpO2 levels are entered into an app 3 times a day (national data monitoring for covid & recovery), it's monitored by local health authority, who ring you if they notice a trend that's not right. The app will also tell you to call 111/999 if a reading is way of limits.

Why, you ill?

 

[Craig the cyclist]

Never had flu,

You don't know that.

 

[classic33]

You don't know that.

Well, it isn't mentioned in my medical records.

Well, it isn't mentioned in my medical records.

Why would it?

 

[newts]

Why, you ill?

Yes, i had covid. See my earlier post #4364 for details as to why i was measuring SpO2 levels.

 

[Craig the cyclist]

Well, it isn't mentioned in my medical records.

It wouldn't be. They don't do tests for flu.

You could have had lots of things and not known it. Flu, migraine, chlamydia, depression, all sorts.

 

[DaveReading]

Let's Face it we're all probably going to get it at some time, just like flu, hopefully once jabbed we're not going to be seriously ill.

Most people have never had flu and won't.

Apart from that, your analogy is fine.
