Is she monitoring her Sats?
Not yet. She got more symptomatic on Saturday, and I ordered her a pulse-ox. It's arriving this afternoon.
Good of you, George. I'm sure she's level-headed like her dad, so I hope she knows to just lay low, rest whenever she needs it, fluids, etc. And yeah, some ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help.
The shortness of breath thing is real, and it's rather surprising to someone who's not used to it. It may even become rather worrisome. Having the pulse-ox will help relieve concerns, or provide basis for additional medical help. I hope it's just the former, not the latter. Remind her it is often just part of the deal with this bug, that it won't likely lead to a hospital trip, and to keep tabs with you frequently. Heck, I'm old enough to be her mom, and I was rather surprised at the shortness of breath problems, which can go on longer than a person would think possible. Again, she's young, so I hope she has a quick recovery.
She's so fortunate to have your advice and help, George. It will be a great comfort for her to have someone she trusts to lean on through this.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Sending positive vibes her way, George! She´s so lucky to have you to check in and monitor.

Really glad she is doing so well! Thoughts and prayers for your daughter, Doc. And for you too, although I dunno, you undoubtedly have a long list with the man above, not much I can do to buffalo Him.
That oxygen thingy is dumb. Anything over 90 is of course an "A" in the real world. But drop into the 80's and go to the hospital (if I understand correctly)? So what's the point of having a scale of 0-100? Please fix that. It's dumb.
Of course keep us all informed, everyone here is pulling for her as hard as we can, even though she doesn't even know us, or most of us. Given her accomplishments, she is an amazing kid. Yeah, I said kid. Given my age, everywhere I look everyone around is mostly a kid or "young lady" or equivalent. Sux being in my, ummmm, 40's.

You really don't want me to get into the physiology of oxygen transport via hemoglobin again, do you?
Never get into a
card gamebiology argument with a guy called "Doc."Please love yourself.

״this is not the flu”
Ten months into this catastrophe and there are still morons saying it’s the flu with some good PR.
