Open Munster fully, we'll test run it for the rest of ye. I'm with Healy-Rae.

At this stage having had two kids pass me what seemed like every virus going over the last 6 years, I regard my heart rate as an indicator of being about to get struck by the latest cold. Interestingly, I also experienced a 10bpm increase in March and took 3 months to return to normal, but had no cold flu or other symptoms. I wonder.

Same here, also had what I later discovered to be an alleged symptom - covid toes. My resting heart rate took a jump in late March but I put it down to low activity with working from home and doing very little exercise. It did drop back though in May, almost to where it was, without doing anywhere near as much training as pre-March levels.

Sounds lovely, back in ye olden days when it was still possible to go the office and have lunch, limerick ham was always the best lunch they had available.

That's so interesting, I've never looked into it much before and just thought it was lifestyle stuff. Definitely something to think about. Mine would usually fluctuate about 5 or 6 max so nothing major but now that I'm back exercising regularly and back working regularly in a school I'll be interested to see if I do get a cold or anything if there's a correlation. I would love to see my stats from my first year teaching when I was hit with everything going :pac:

Resting HR is the best indicator. If your minimum over night HR is up your body is working harder. The reasons I’ve found for HR elevation is, alcohol, bad sleep and illness. A lot of more advanced watch’s have Pulse Oximeters which measure O2 levels in the blood- if this drops significantly it’s time for a CV19 test!

Was your only symptom Covid toes? Must have been so strange finding out about it being a symptom after the fact especially if you had no other symptoms! Glad you're back to normal now.

For me if I was in a nursing home with a life expectancy of 4-5 years and was told there would be 3 more years of the current restrictions I would prefer to be dead.

What does this matter?

Wait until you're older and that image of old age will change dramatically.

People are making decisions for the elderly which may not be in their best overall interests. If the majority prefer to accept the risks they should be allowed to and not remain imprisoned like an animal in a zoo being featured in the media like some kind of freak show.

Yep, although there’s been very little said about it as a symptom more recently. It fit the description perfectly and lasted a week or so. Hadn’t a clue what it was and at the time (late March) it seemed silly to contact my GP with everything going on at the time. In normal times I would have. Then about two weeks later I read an article on it and saw pictures and it was identical.

Even took an antibody test I was so convinced. But it came up negative. So probably not, but maybe?

I have a Fitbit Versa and upgraded to the free premium package, there's a section called estimated oxygen variation in the sleep section; do you reckon this is the same/similar to what you described? Have noticed after nights out that its definitely different to my normal pattern!

I've experience of nursing homes, people who went in with mild mobility issues but their minds were destroyed with medication and exposure to people away with the fairies, not a place most would like to live in the pre covid times nevermind now.

I know what you mean regarding contacting your GP about it but yeah in retrospect it's a very strange coincidence to be fair! Such an usual symptom I can see why you were convinced, I would be too! I wonder about the accuracy of antibody tests, you just don't know! Do you think you would have been relieved if it had come back positive now that its passed?

Exactly.

Have had 2 close relatives spend a considerable amount of their dying years in nursing home's.

They were in alive in the sense their heart was beating, every identifiable character trait had died long before.

Its all relative. India has population 1.3 billion. Deaths curve seems to be shallowing. Who knows.

I would have been relieved that it was a mild dose that I didn’t pass to my wife or daughter, or I did and they were asymptomatic. I am also shopping for and taking care of parents and parents in law, 3 of the 4 at risk, and while we had very little contact, if it had been positive, I would be very relieved to have not passed it to them either. I still think that maybe I could have had it, but best to act and behave like I didn’t.

Could you screen grab and share, I'd be interested to read that.

I usually take some heed of the medical experts who appear on our TV screens, even Thomas Ryan, but Luke O' Néill is such a spoofer. He does my head in.

Similar, but Fitbit are only rolling out that functionality, so measurements now are available through the sleep function So give overnight estimates as opposed to the higher end garmins which are minute to minute with instant readings. It works by shining red and infrared lights through sensors on the back of the device into the skin which can determine the percentage of oxygenated blood, pretty nifty and potentially a real time alert system for Covid.

Not at all, sure they've 1.3 billion people. Their numbers are relatively low when you have that in mind. That's substantially more people than all of Europe and the USA combined.

I'm glad he said we can beat this with rapid testing, test everyone once we can get our hands on the new tests.

79% survival rate in ICU that's bad but good.
