Great reminder to have a pulse oximeter on hand (the finger thing) and get readings when you're not sick to see what your normal reading is. I got mine from Walgreen's last spring.
I should get one.
When I went for a COVID test a couple of weeks ago, my oxygen level was 99. As a former smoker, I was happy to see that.
Ohio (where my brother-in-law is) is having their hospitals filling up with COVID patients again. In the rural areas, they are back to where they were a year ago with cases. Where my relatives are, the county is still under 50% getting even the first vaccination shot. That is even a bit worse than where I am in Tennessee. and I thought we were bad about vaccinations here.
I judge how bad the situation is by how many NFL players are banned from the facility due to testing positive. There are several on every team I follow, and the poor Browns have 8 guys who can't play this week. The impact is close to what it was when the virus first hit.

This reminded me to check on the oximeter someone sent me quite a while ago. Here at 7,000 feet in altitude, I was 92%. Does altitude matter? I do use CPAP absolutely and think I should have been higher.
So you're calling them stupid? Because it's child's play to keep from getting infected.
Not in so many words. It was a joke. The person who sent me an LOL rep understood that.
It's also child's play to crash into other people, yet big adult men do it to earn a living, as I pointed out. Perhaps it has something to do with being risk-takers to begin with. Somebody who doesn't mind taking a chance on a permanent brain or joint injury might not worry about a virus, either. Just a thought.
You would have to ask the specific people why they didn't modify their behavior to keep from being infected. I don't know any of them personally.
