[FRIAM] COVID SaO2 at 7k feet

[uǝlƃ ☤>$]

So, I've been self-quarantined for 10 days, now, monitoring my SpO2 regularly. I've always run low (~98% or 99%, only reaching 100% with breathing exercises). But while fighting my infection [⛧], I've gone down to 90 or even 89. Renee' says the COVID patients that come to the hospital are running mid- to low-80s.

But what's interesting is that back in SFe, a healthy patient, one who would show 100% at sea level, would show 95% or even lower at that altitude. The question is, then, what are the COVID patients in SFe showing? She's lost all her contacts at St Vincent's ... moved away, returned xmas cards, etc. So she doesn't have anyone to ask. If any of you have friends at the hospitals there that might know such a number, I'd appreciate any feedback.

[⛧] Not likely covid. I still taste/smell just fine. No fever. Etc. ... it's run the course of a normal cold, including my susceptibility to sinus infection.
