Thats a bit of a flippant response. There have been enough people with covid symptoms put on vents or compressed o2 due to low levels they didn’t feel to makenit unfair to equate it with random people in a shopping mall. How about glucose tests for pregnant women? Why draw my blood 9 times just cuz other random people get gestational diabetes?
Point is, even if only my neighbor was saved, and it seems there were more than just him, 30 seconds on a $40 meter is worth it. I actually got mine from hatzalah.
Interesting add on. We found that those of us with covid, while we were fever free, had pulse range of 102-120 at rest.
