Blood Pressure Monitor can help to detect bacteremia or septic shock

Here is a direct quote from the World Health Organization: "if you are hospitalized for the 2019-nCoV, you may receive antibiotics because bacterial co-infection is possible." WHO has expressed that they against to use antibiotics as a treatment for COVID-19. However, they also acknowledge the possible bacterial co-infection with COVID-19.

According to WebMD:

“When you get pneumonia -- whether it was caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus -- there's a chance it could lead to other medical troubles.”

"If bacteria caused your pneumonia, they could get into your blood, especially if you didn't see a doctor for treatment. It's a problem called bacteremia.”

“Bacteremia can lead to a serious situation known as septic shock. It's a reaction to the infection in your blood, and it can cause your blood pressure to drop to a dangerous level."

If you own a blood pressure monitor, it can help to catch early symptoms of bacteremia or septic shock. However, remember to establish your blood pressure “baseline” when your body is healthy. A variation from the “baseline” is always a better indication of the wellness condition than a comparison for a standard line found on the Internet.
