When I got COVID, I was periodically checking my oxi because that was the only thing I was worried about.
I noticed the tightness in my chest and sore muscles made it so I was taking less deep of breaths and my oxygen level was lower than it normally was by a few points. It really dawned on me how easy it would be for someone with weak lungs, less active, etc. to dip into a concerning level that spirals down.
