1. Thank you

One more thing to be aware of.

2. Just Speculation

But, some of those look like blue blood at the extremities, and she mentioned frostbite.
If CV is directly attacking the cardiovascular system, and people are oxygen deficient, couldn't those surface capillaries at the extremes turn blue?

3. There was an article in NY Times today that doctors are finding

Many people already have pneumonia by the time they start having other symptoms and end up in the hospital. I’m thinking of getting one of those little oxygen sensors you clamp on your finger.

5. Pulse oximeter

It was one of the first things I ordered about two months ago. I think it is good to have on hand for this virus.

8. Same here and

bought them for siblings and cousins. We group report every morning.

[Squinch]

7. Order it now. They're going fast. I just read that article and ordered one.

It was backordered till May 6.

15. Searched the local Walgreens today

and found one store 20 miles away with 4 in stock. Called and offered to buy one over the phone and pick it up. They said they would hold it for me. When I got there to pick it up they told me the other 3 had sold out within an hour of my call.

4. That's my take on it--cyanosis

Lack of circulation to the extremities.

6. The oximeters are sold out online.

But, I saw on the Today show the other day that there is an oximeter app that actually works well.

[captain queeg]

9. That didn't take long. I just finally got my thermometer today.

An app for your phone? Will it work with an iPhone?

10. reminds me of raynaud's syndrome.

so many of these little things are common in allergies and autoimmune diseases.
all related to those pesky cytokines.
tho, there was a doc on today talking about the blood O2 on these peeps, and it's horrifying.

11. Mimics high altitude sickness...

... which you would NEVER use a ventilator for.

[Lucinda]

12. KNR

13. I've seen 3 cases in 8 days

20 yr old, 21 yr old and 35 yr old. Minimal other symptoms. So weird.

[smirkymonkey]

14. That's strange. They are so young.

I wonder why such young people are being affected.
