Syag, indeed. As reported, lung capacity is *way less* of an issue for those who had Omicron. As there are *way more* people who are getting it, it may be relevant for some. Others might have had Delta. Others might have had Delta last year and Omicron now. Others might have had pneumonia 5 years ago.
It costs $5 to get one oximeter per family or yeshiva dorm and you’ll see if you need to pay attention to your health. I am not “correcting” anyone, just gave a free piece of the advice. Thanks for helping me clarify the information.
A general thought: a standard medical advice is about acute things that happen on average. Lots of covid public policy advice is based on balance between hospital capacity and a need for children to be in school. You can often do better. For a pre-covid example: children vaccinations are structured to maximize efficiency and probability that kids take all of them. We re-scheduled them to delay those that were not an issue (our kids were not digging dirt with metal knives unsupervised) and space out remaining one instead of cocktails. The doctor grumbled but complied.
