“If someone is having trouble breathing, you don’t put them prone on their stomach.”

One of the lessons of COVID treatment is that if a patient is having trouble breathing, you DO put them on their stomach! That from a nurse who worked the COVID ward.

Here, from the Internet:

“Lying in a prone position, on the stomach with the head turned to one side, while resting may help relieve shortness of breath. This position can reduce the weight of the other organs on the lungs and the pressure from gravity, helping the lungs expand.

A prone position may particularly help people who have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can be a COVID-19 complication. ARDS involves serious issues such as the lungs filling with fluid and difficulty taking in enough oxygen, and it can be life threatening.”

For emphasis:

“Lying in a prone position, on the stomach with the head turned to one side...”

Sound familiar?

You lie on your stomach with my knee on you and lets talk about breathing. Otherwise, you are one of those people who were glad the statist police stopped the “insurrection” on Jan 6 by killing an innocent protester.
