A pulse oximeter, a common medical device available without prescription from most pharmacies, is no more complicated than using a thermometer. These small devices turn on with one button and are placed on a fingertip. In a few seconds, two numbers are displayed: oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Pulse oximeters are extremely reliable in detecting oxygenation problems and elevated heart rates.

Good read.
Oximeter on hand for years. Stored in container with defibrillator, field surgery kit, BP cuff, etc. Granted, this frivolous, prepper-esque kit would be of little use to anyone...until it is.
Currently checking temperature before work.
Adding O2 saturation to pre-departure checklist.
This PLANdemic is steadily morphing into one of the greatest shams imaginable.

I keep a BP cuff (actually an automatic one and a pump one in two different kits) in my trauma kits but never a pulse-ox. It's a good point, if the prices don't treble overnight because of the article.
$30 is less than the hospital charged me for 2 tylenol.

I bought one for $35 as I posted this link and noted it promised in-stock, 7 day delivery. When the transaction cleared, the cunts were back peddling to June 15, long after I clock room temperature.
