For some cities, they don&#8217;t give that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was monitoring and it was OK until suddenly dropped to 94%. Until then, it was 98%.<br>94% might not seem that low but for human, if you go under that level, you&#8217;re nearly dead.<br>I have a friend with asthma and he monitors his oxygen level and he posts 86%&#8230;<br>Yes, he should be dead by now. The one he has is made in China and is very inaccurate.<br>Cheap ones you can buy from Amazon, don&#8217;t trust. It&#8217;s a waste of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The health center called up my friend after reporting that result but about 5 hours later, they called her up.<br>She could have been dead by that time&#8230; <br>She told me that it was past 10:30PM at night. She was asleep (not dead yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is broken and there&#8217;s nothing we can do.<br>They (municipality) cannot keep track of everyone with the virus anymore.<br>We have to take care of ourselves and probably die if anything happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week I read a post on the Facebook.<br>I think I shared it but I couldn&#8217;t find it (the doctor who shared it must have taken it down).<br>He wrote that having infected by COVID-19 is probably a pleasant way of dying compared to cancer.<br>In Japan, palliative care exist but it seems that people wish to suffer and endure more but with COVID-19, you just faint and die quietly, he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I realized that I should keep all necessary info on a USB memory chip and write all the cloud agreements and services that I contract, such as Adobe, Evernote, SoundCloud, rents, utility bills, and even bank accounts and credit cards.<br>When I die, it would be easier for my son and wife to shut down all the services I use, including this WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I should get going on doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I had a chance to visit and talk to a friend who caught COVID-19 (and
