Yes, have seen this info. My nurse (wife) and I check our O2 and CO levels throughout the day with one of those finger clamps, also temp and BP. Many positive cases are seeing o2 levels down in the 80's. Should be in the very high 90's. That is the "high altitude sickness" symptom... low O2. Ventilators not helpful with that. Exposure to high O2 via nostrils helps as a therapy. Stay safe.
