      And this is apparently old news to at least someone, because when I looked it up on Amazon to get that stat on the price, clicking item page for some threw up a roadblock saying "This device is only sold to employees of medical organizations. Are you an employee... [Yes] [No]"

          What a crazy year for science, right. People are doing end-runs around the traditional distribution processes for results in favor of getting them onto the Internet in the most credible possible fashion as quickly as possible.

          One wonders, after things are back to normal, whether we'll say "*Phew* that was terrible. Alright, good news: we can all now again agree that it is only science if it has the right paperwork trail attached to it. All in favor please hold up your personal paperwork trail."

          There are some very complicated tradeoffs here and I'll leave it to folks more professionally immersed in these issues to think through them thoroughly, but that discussion needs "If we like paperwork, and we like human lives, there is some margin at which we like one more."

          I got mine months ago. There should be plenty available that are for “flight or diving use only”.

          There were sold out everywhere in my country a few weeks ago, but are now back in stock. Just bought one at a normal price last week. So might be temporary availability issues.

          Cheap wristbands like the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 also measure SpO2. While not as accurate as medical devices, they do well enough to detect the kind of hipoxia that means "GO TO THE ER NOW". Pleased to see that the Apple Watch (who has equivalent hw sensors) is rumoured to get it too

          Hm, I bough one a couple weeks ago "just in case" with no trouble.

          I’ve owned one for years. Prohibiting members of the public from purchasing basic sensors seems counter-productive and protectionist of particular medical services.
