Covid-19

room air SpO2 in the low 80s. He didn't have to buy a vent in the ICU but was proned with hi-flow O2 for 48 hours.

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

Oxygen moves around your blood attached to hemoglobin, SpO2 is your pulse oximetry, measures the amount of oxygen attached to your hemoglobin in capillary blood. Normal is greater than 95, nominal normal is 93-95. Anything between 90 and 93 we keep an eye on, anything less than 90 is no bueno and needs oxygen. The lower you go, the worse you are. If you are in the '80s consistently, you're pretty sick. If you're in the low 80s you almost always get intubated and put on a ventilator.

One of the therapies they found that works in this is laying you prone in a bed, on your belly, instead of on your back. When you're intubated and on a ventilator is not so bad because you're sedated, but imagine having to spend 48 hours straight, awake, with a face mask with high flow oxygen, on your belly.

Clark County Nevada schools never re-opened.

Douglas County (CO) elementary schools are open...there were kids being kids out on the playground when I walked the dog today...it was good to hear them laughing and squealing and being kids...

Vaccine rollout in Canada has been a joke and the responsibility lays solely at the top. But Trudeau would rather put the blame elsewhere.

Start with the federal government. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chastised provincial governments this week for being too slow to administer the limited vaccine supply his government has procured. He should be glad they haven’t gone faster. The slow provincial pace has somewhat masked the severe vaccine shortage facing the country. As of Monday, Canada has received about 424,000 doses of vaccine, with 148,000 doses going to Ontario. Considering that each person requires two doses, that’s a ridiculously small number.

Randall Denley: After a dismal start, Ontario’s vaccine rollout looks...even more dismal

Dear @Grace_Segers
When a man is protecting your ass, you do NOT complain that he wasn't wearing a mask while doing it.
Sincerely,
@Dame

I went to day 4 of a test the other week. I was there 43 minutes and we bowled them out and won the thing.

Yep, I picked it up on Fox Sports. The farnarkling from the opposition leveled the series at two rubbers a piece. It was just a pity the wicket was a bit sticky.

They're all coming to Florida because there are no residency restrictions here. Problem is, they're not getting vaccinated here either because there are a zillion fucking people here already and about 200 doses.



Oh shit, where am I gonna party now???



You got it. No taste or smell is a given. I mean, what else causes that?

I've actually read a few articles that quite a few snowbirds have gotten vaccinated in Florida. If it wasn't for the kid's and wife's work, I'd spend the rest of the lockdown there. With the modelling they are pushing, the end is nigh...
