Keep close tabs. Lung involvement develops 5-7 days in

Yup, I’m recently well acquainted. My mom won’t let him wait too long if she thinks he needs to go to the ER.

My mom is 75 and Pops is 91. Mom is getting over it and Pops has been sick just a couple days. So far no ER trips. Pops has had pneumonia and Valley Fever in his lungs, but he’s doing fine. Impressive.

Omincrom doesn’t affect the lungs as bad as delta and WT

Do they have an o2 finger checker.

I don’t think so, no. Pops will let mom know if he’s having a hard time and she’ll make him go to the ER or threaten him with calling an ambulance.

They need not use EMS unless its bad bad. Go POV before it gets that bad. It's strenuous on EMS then the techs thats left have potentially been in contact with the virus. Between the covid + techs and techs quitting cause of burnout its a big issue with EMS right now.

Yup but that’s not why they won’t use the ambulance. My dad won’t let the neighbors see him leave in one

My boss's roommate that has covid right now works for a private ambulance company. Typically he's "transport" (i.e. delivering dead people) but occasionally he transports alive people. He's fully vaxxed and boosted (otherwise he wouldnt have a job). Still got it. My boss tried to ease my concern by saying "dont worry hes sleeping on the couch" but they live in a two bedroom apartment with 2 children. Theyre all gonna get it even with the best precautions

Let's be hopeful that this less-lethal, but highly contagious variant offers the herd immunity we've been waiting for. Take very good care of yourselves. Be proactive. Eat well, get rest, go outside and get some fresh air, reach out to those you can help... and pray.

Most of my family currently has covid. I'm doing all of the above.... and planning my spring garden, looking forward to getting back to our family camp, loving on my dogs and birds... and praying.
