Saying one needs to sleep on their stomach when ill.

I’ve had too much experience with respiratory infections, but one thing I’ve learned is that lying on the right side drains fluids from the left lung and lying on the left side drains the right lung.

I’m guessing the lying on the stomach does the same for both lungs at once?

North Korea cancels Kim Jong birthday party over virus.

What do we do with the gifts, can we get a rain check on party?

And who are they who have decided this? There is no way I would sleep on my stomach. This virus chaos is really getting quite stupid. As you suggested..sleep upright taking turns from side to side sounds much better to me. I'd be afraid I'd choke sleeping on my stomach.
