Im repeating myself here but if you dont have a newer galaxy phone available (it has a built in oximeter), get you an oximeter so at least you know you're alright. You can order it on amazon and they probably sell it at walmarts/pharmacies too for cheap

You'll make it

Yeah, especially in NY, if I were you, I'd call a doctor and tell them what's going on and only actually go to the hospital if they tell you to.

Put your index finger flat on the red light on the back so it covers the light, dont push too hard just lightly press on it and make sure you move as little as possible

Below 90-92 is when you should strongly consider going to the ER

Mine's 97 right now for reference

There´s a lot of people in New York calling 911 because they have trouble breathing, but don´t be afraid to call if you need assistance. Better to call one too many times. There´s a lot of people going through the same right now.

Spoke to a trusted family doctor over the phone who did a rudimentary breathing test. A test anyone can do themselves:

Take a deep breath in, hold it for a sec, fully exhale, then count to 30 quickly out loud. I was able to count uninterrupted without gasping so apparently I’m below the threshold for needing oxygen.

Gonna check in with this doc every day from now on just to make sure I’m okay and don’t need more immediate medical attention.

That seems like a good strategy. But I think you should go to the hospital if it doesn´t get better in the next few days.

Thats not a fuking diagnostic test. Get a pulse ox and check your O2 sat. Note heart rate and temp too.
Best lifts (Don't lift for strength anymore. No more deadlifts or squats)
270 Bench Max
340 Squat Max

If I can find one on amazon I will but the delivery is probably really backed up. I can’t imagine I’ll find one anywhere in NYC if I sent someone to go look for me. Without a doubt I agree with you that I could really use one right now.

I know you spoke with a doctor you know. Still highly suggest you attempt to contact a local ER to consult with someone actively treating this. Tell them on the phone that you are COVID positive, 2 weeks in, and you are experiencing burning in your lungs and are lightheaded.

Maybe it is okay (hope so), but if you are accumulating fluid in your lungs you do not want to wait and see on this. EMS is slammed AFAIK and I doubt your GF could carry you down to a cab.

I’m going to see if I can get a chest X-ray done tomorrow. On a good day ER’s in the city are horrendous, I cannot imagine how they are now. I’d really like to avoid that unless it becomes clear I need supplemental oxygen.

Props for clear headed handling of it- sought medical advice, followed it without causing more stress on the system. Sounds like you're willing to seek help if & when you need it too, if it comes to that, that's why we have hospitals. Europe has had plenty of healthy young people end up in ICU.

Best wishes.

In the meantime, if you're having some difficulty breathing, try to lay down on your belly (prone position) and see if that helps.

A decent amount of android phones have sp02 measurements built in. Just check the health app.
DL - 385
BP - 255lbs
Squat - 310 x 3. Never tried a one rep max.

Maybe do the video conference with a doctor and see what they recommend.

I saw a vid about a hospital in italy where they had all the patients lying on their stomachs. They also said they were yet to have a patient that lived.
