Sounds like consensus.2wheel said:I spoke to Jeff yesterday and told him he's not looking too good and suggested that he see his MD ASAP. He said that's exactly what his wife suggested.
From my "non-medical doctor" point of view, these sound a lot like COVID-19 symptoms.2wheel said:He also said he wasn't feeling well at all, that he's been short of breath lately.
Good.2wheel said:He called his MD of Friday for an appointment.
Shortness of breath, especially if it's getting worse in real time, can be considered a medical emergency. If it's accompanied by a blood oxygen saturation level (BOSL) down in the 80 to 89 percent range, Jeff should definitely consider it a medical emergency. Avoid getting close to him, but I strongly suggest telling him he can obtain a (very low cost) pulse oximeter here:2wheel said:MD's office told him if it's an emergency go to the ER immediately.

If his BOSL is below 95 percent, and especially if it's down in the 80 to 89 percent range, he should get tested again for COVID-19 ASAP. If he has to go to a hospital emergency room to do that, so be it.
If he needs some help making a decision, give him some help. Point out that if he has COVID-19 and puts off getting medical attention, he may be facing death on a short time scale. Also, you and your wife want to know about that as soon as possible.2wheel said:[If his situation is not an emergency,] they'll see him ASAP through a tele-med visit, as they weren't doing in person visits at the moment. He said he was at a loss re. what to do.
Sept. 1 is nowhere near soon enough. Tell him the point made by Zipless: if he goes to an ER, the staff on duty there will take appropriate measures to protect him (and themselves).2wheel said:[Jeff thinks] the ER poses a greater risk than a tele-med visit or even doing nothing. He has a tele-med visit setup for 9/1.
Good.2wheel said:I told him we're on hold until he's gotten medical clearance. Specifically clearance to have sex. He said that may be difficult as his wife is generally with him for any medical visits. I sympathized and told him I understood that he'll need to figure out a how, but there is no leeway on our part.
Also good.2wheel said:He said he'd figure it out; he doesn't want to lose a good thing. I agreed, and we parted.
I suppose conflict with your wife over this was inevitable, but it sounds like you handled it pretty well.2wheel said:Later in the day I spoke to HWR and told her what went on . At first she was pissed, very pissed. When she finally calmed down I was able to 'lay out the bag of snakes.' It took a while, but she finally acquiesced and said I 'probably' did the right thing but was still angry I didn't discuss it with her first. She reminded me I'm not in charge of her pussy. We ended with me agreeing that she controls who she fucks, but this wasn't about sex, it was about safety.
