YOU ARE Right.
But a lot of Med. Professionals are not uptodate, Just like our Gov.
From USPharmacists:
“In a recent editorial in the New York Times, Dr. Richard Levitan, a New Hampshire–based emergency medicine physician with a specialty in intubation, noted that a substantial percentage of patients he saw while working in a busy New York hospital in March suffered from silent hypoxia. They were utterly unaware they had low, sometimes extremely low, oxygen levels and clearly compromised lungs with moderate-to-severe pneumonia.
“Widespread pulse oximetry screening for COVID pneumonia—whether people check themselves on home devices or go to clinics or doctors’ offices—could provide an early warning system for the kinds of breathing problems associated with COVID pneumonia,” he wrote.
He urged patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 to check their blood oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter for 2 weeks after diagnosis or any symptom onset to detect dropping oxygen levels before pneumonia advanced.”
