The Coronavirus thread

His SpO2 dropped several times on Friday and Saturday to somewhere in the 82 to 94% range.
Dunno about shortness of breath, but he was definitely having issues with effectiveness.

I find it hard to believe that if a POTUS actually had SPo2 readings as low as 82%, that that info would be released to the general public ? I would think that would be a matter of national security.

Link?

Claudia Conway (KellyAnne’s daughter) has the inside scoop:

Trump tested 3 times in a row negative
for the virus and says he's felling better
than he has in 20 years. On his way back
to the WH now. A doc said the recovery
rate for someone 74 with Trump's
underlying conditions is 96%. So this
is no big deal.

“It was below 94%, it wasn’t down in the low 80s or anything,”

So, mid 80’s to 94.

"“It was below 94%, it wasn’t down in the low 80s or anything,” the doctor said." The alarm goes off at 88 with the continuous monitor, and makes it hard to sleep. That's probably what happened, when you fall asleep the concentration drops a bit an they had continuous monitoring, along with bp every 15 minutes. Hospitals were never designed for the patient to get any rest.

I can see it now, he allowed them to put him in Walter Reed as long as he could do some work and nap in between. All the medico's fussing over him are giving him "an abundance of caution" so they have him hooked up to the monitor. He falls asleep and his SPo2 drops to 88, the alarm goes off and everyone panics and goes into action [as they are trained to do]. They come rushing in, offering oxygen and although he doesn't think he needs it, he acquiesces and takes the canula's if they will leave him alone, twice.

After a couple days he says "f" it, if I can't get any rest around here, I'm going back to work.

Well if it stopped at 88, wouldn't one say "it wasn't down to the MID 80's or anything" ?

For reference

80% and less Impaired mental function on average
75% and less Loss of consciousness on average

If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low and called hypoxemia.[1] Arterial blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed.

Boy that is an interesting video. SOOPOO can probably verify that it sure looks like someone having some difficulty breathing.

I was going to say, there is no way they would let him run around with a compromised oxygen level. It could come from recent exertion though.

They could be jamming oxygen back on him as soon as he's out of sight. But that seems pretty irresponsible.

Question is, is he still getting any continuing lung damage from this. And will it be worse later on?

No way significant lung damage wouldn't show up during the debate if it happens.

He also has some sort of heart condition. That could add to his breathing problem.

So much ams288 "Fan Fiction" becoming reality it must be scary for him?

Not so cocky this week, huh?
