Why your daughter may be more impacted than Trump is something that seems to not be understood yet,
That's a perfect example of what several of us here have been harping on, over and over again, All. God. Damn. Year. Which might I add keeps getting written off as silly outliers that need to be ignored because they're silly outliers that don't fit the Old People Narrative, and in some cases "fearful (and therefore sinful or something) talk."
Yes I know that and 120 people under 19 have died so far.
I don't know why you keep bringing stuff like that up, though. What does that have to do with anything? It's not even relevant in this thread as neither George's daughter, nor anyone who participates here, is under 19.
So one has to find the balance between what is happening to people who don’t get Covid as a result of lockdown
You seem to post examples that are disproportionate to reality. Yeah, a lot of businesses have gone under as a result of the virus. But it's not an economic apocalypse--unemployment is at 2015 levels and it continues to decline, not increase--and new opportunities keep cropping up that would otherwise not exist.
As for the social isolation, yeah that's a bummer. But no other people in the history of the world have been so well-equipped to handle that problem. It's a very serious consequence that's literally never been easier to mitigate.
Why don't you two find a room?

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.

I'm very happy to see that!

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.
