    Glad she is starting to feel a little better. Glad you got her the pulse oximeter too.

    Thanks, @jodi !

    How's Mr. Jodi doing after his experience?

    @George-K so far, he seems to be ok. He was in good shape before, which probably helped. But it was bad enough that he really does not want to get it again. He donated plasma awhile back. We are both going for a work provided health screening next week, and one of the things they will test for is antibodies, but I imagine those are long gone? I’m more interested than he is, since I never tested positive.

            You talked me into getting one. Why the heck is my pulse only around 40?

                Did you buy it used? Maybe it’s left over from Revolutionary France and is using decimal time.

                  No, it's new, and I checked manually that the pulse readings are indeed accurate. If I understood the Wikipedia article on bradycardia correctly, the worst that can happen is instant death, so I'm not very worried.

                    I'd put faith in one of the doc's answers, but I have seen guys who did a ton of cardio exercise, have pretty low resting pulse rates.

                      Klaus, it could be the cycling - mine came down from 60 to 45, although it's a bit higher now. When I had my medical, the nurse asked whether I ran or cycled.

                      I was only joking

                                        Not great news.

                                        We just got news that my daughter may have been exposed. One of her classmates is symptomatic and she and a few others had a cocktail hour with her the other night. They were pretty distanced, but it was a couple hours. She was random tested by the university and negative the other day, but she's scheduled for another test next week.

                                          Two weeks. Shit, that's a long time to be putting up with this. Very best wishes.

                                          Please love yourself.
