Thanks, everyone, for your concern. I'm, of course, grateful!
She's now just about a week into the onset of symptoms. 5 days since her positive test:

Happy to hear she is feeling better. Hope the recovery continues.
Her statement about finally being able to take a full breath is a kicker.

How would you know that?
Tofu is good.

Maybe I was too harsh
Not bird shit
Maybe just bird vomit

@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.

It's nothing more than a bad cold. It only hurts or kills those who are elderly with multiple comorbidities.
I hear that crap a lot, usually from people with no experience of a bad case in their family...

I’m surprised you have one at all.

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.

Yeah marathon runners have famously low heart rates.
