[TheForge] Covid 19 O2 reduction.

[Steven Earley]

By the time you are not able to carry enough O2 you are already in trouble. the damage that covid-19 dose is it displaces the Fe from the hemoglobin which reduces the bloods ability to carry O2 and remove the CO2 which then causes damage to the organs, as this occurs the lungs start to react by makin more mucus which further restricts the lungs from performing there function.

*Synopsis*:  It is pneumonia caused by COVID-19 that is killing so many
people.  For some reason, although these patients cannot get enough oxygen,
they can exhale carbon dioxide produced in their body.  Since it is carbon
dioxide that triggers the feeling of suffocation, people are not going to
the ER soon enough, and are critical when they get there.

*Interim Remedy*:  Monitor the oxygen saturation of your blood using a
pulse oximeter.  Any doctor's office or urgent care facility has one of
these and they can be purchased on-line as well.  This is the familiar
device that the med assistant clips over your finger and reports, 30
seconds later, your pulse rate and your blood oxygen saturation.  The
latter value should be 95%-100%.  Some COVID-19 ER patients are reported to
have blood oxygen saturation as low as 50% -- critically low.  (I believe
this to be the origin of the "Can you hold your breath for 10 seconds" test
for COVID-19.  I'm not sure of that and I'm not advocating that test.)

I strongly recommend everybody read this NY Times article: The Infection
That?s Silently Killing Coronavirus Patients, By Dr. Richard Levitan
