"If you are single I suggest going to extraordinary lengths to protect yourself if you have to self-isolate with COVID-19.
You may have heard about the tragic death of a young surgical trainee who died alone at home from COVID-19 in Belfast last week. He probably died from pulmonary complications of COVID-19 that had gradually crept up on him and by the time he needed hospitalisation and ventilatory support he was probably too unwell to do anything about it. A big issue is that as you become hypoxic (lack of oxygen) your thought processes become clouded and your ability to make a judgement about your own health become erratic."

@dominics , I don't live alone, but my wife is an NHS Nurse and has recently been deployed to the wards. This will be a useful addition to the medicine cabinet, to keep an eye on her. I'm sure you can get one for £25-£35, but I didn't want to wait until June for delivery - it'll be all over bar the shouting by then (he says hopefully, and over-optimistically!) 😉
I have this feature on my smart watch, I do get a little obsessive with checking my BP and sp02 levels though 😂.
