From the Mayo Clinic:
Hypoxemia (click here) is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.
Hypoxemia is determined by measuring the oxygen level in a blood sample taken from an artery (arterial blood gas). It can also be estimated by measuring the oxygen saturation of your blood using a pulse oximeter — a small device that clips to your finger.
Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Values under 60 mm Hg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low.
Spot checking oxygen levels, as with a SARS-CoV-2 victim with a low oxygen level by operating a mobile phone without confusion, is a problem with measurement, not the patient. If COVID-19 is causing sporadic attacks on body systems with blood clots, other than the respiratory system attack, it is not a brand new phenomenon. There are cancers that cause blood clots that cannot be accommodated by injectible anti-coagulants such as Exonaparin (Lovenox) or Dalteparin (Fragmin).
Scientists working to save people's lives at the CDC and WHO need to think outside the box and find the aspect of the clotting factor this virus is attacking. It is no different than the frequent reporting of positive COVID-19 cases that have red eyes. All these issues speak to a virus that can attack the blood content of the host. The lungs are noted to be inflamed. That is basically a more systemic reaction to the same type of component causing red eyes.
The people admitted to the ICU must have an atrial line put in to accurately know the circulatory oxygen level.
There is no doubt patients admitted to the hospital that need to be given a strong anti-inflammatory such as prednisone and subcutaneous heparin every 12 hours. They also need broad-spectrum antibiotics to help the body to prevent an internal environment that is conducive to bacterial infection.
There needs to be a STANDING REGIME for physicians and nurse practitioners to implement as required to SUPPORT the body while any other measures of therapeutics are ordered to provide on the case by case symptoms.
If there are particular characteristics of the infection noted by professionals over and over those are COMPLICATIONS that can lead to death. Those complications have to be headed off at the point of diagnosis whether the symptoms are present or not at that time.

...Many are also reporting bizarre, (click here) unsettling cases that don’t seem to follow the textbooks they’ve trained on. They describe patients with startlingly low oxygen levels — so low that they would normally be unconscious or near death — talking and swiping on their phones. Asymptomatic pregnant women suddenly in cardiac arrest. Patients who by all conventional measures seem to have mild disease deteriorating within minutes and dying at home.
With no clear patterns in terms of age or chronic conditions, some scientists now hypothesize that at least some of these abnormalities may be explained by severe changes in patients’ blood....

Researchers know that there are several viruses (click here) that can lead to cancer. For example, the human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause cervical and several other cancers. And hepatitis C can lead to liver cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
This won't go over well, but, are there any human beings that are deceased and have indicated in their "donation of organs" document which provides for autopsy by researchers. Sometimes people will allow scientific investigation with their bodies. I would expect that to be somewhat revealing not just to causes but the interaction of the virus with body tissues of all kinds.
The other question I have is the origin of the virus. Do we know if this virus is exclusive to an animal? Does the genetics of the original animal include other genus and species or is this virus exclusive to a particular genus-species? In other words, if this virus jumped from a bat to humans, are there other animals that are carrying this virus and have they overcome the infection or died?
This is off-topic, but, is important at this point in history.
There is something that has bothered me about some primate research in China (I am sure China is not the only country.) that uses human tissue in gene splicing (click here) with other species. This begins to speak to the need for international agreements that limit any use of human tissue in research. It is my concern that when any aspect of the human genome is used in gene splicing with other species the danger of these viruses is more likely. There needs to be international conventions on the use of human tissue and also of artificial intelligence. In my opinion, when humans believe they have control over these new realities they are fooling themselves and don't understand the power of replication and reproduction.
This highly sophisticated research should be solving problems not simply carried out of curiosity. Where human genes are spliced into another genome of an animal what then is the final product of such research and will it provide more danger than benefit?

Studying viruses and cancer is helping researchers develop vaccines and other ways to reduce cancer risk. We spoke with Harrys Torres, M.D., associate professor of Infectious Diseases, to learn more. Here’s what he had to say.
How do viruses cause cancer?
Viruses are very small organisms. They are made up of genes – DNA or RNA – surrounded by a protein coating. There are several oncoviruses (oncology virus), or viruses that causes cancer:...
Understanding the genome of this virus and the patients susceptible to it's impacts in the human body is to know exactly where this virus finds success.
