If any of you also read that New York Times article from last month – https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-testing-pneumonia.html –and decide to purchase an oximeter. Then this model, Contec CMS50D, according to this study – https://www.lifebox.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/The-Accuracy-of-6-Inexpensive-Pulse-Oximeters.pdf – is one of the more accurate ones on the market.
After being out of stock everywhere in the U.K. and being sold at hugely inflated prices, they now seem to be back in stock and priced at the normal rate again.

Damn. I was going to use the hugely inflated prices to justify spending ~£200 upgrading to a Garmin Forerunner 945 that does pulse-ox.
Thats what I bought. Oxygen levels drop when I hold my breath until I almost faint, so it does something right.
