Weren’t they admitting people to the hospital for 90 or below during the Great Covid Panic of 2020?
Why does a patient have to be admitted to the hospital for an O2 of ~90% if they have COVID, but it’s deemed perfectly acceptable to walk around all day wearing a mask and have the same level?
After all, until just the other day, if you were a good citizen you’d have been wearing a mask indoors AND outdoors and anywhere there was a chance to run into people: so basically everywhere.
