    Then, out of delicacy, you photograph the flowers and the trees.

    All this talk of halal and delicacy is making me peckish.

    What are those made of? Styrofoam? Cardboard? Particle board? Looks like they're stacking them 2 deep, so they shouldn't leak or collapse under weight.

    Looks like white pine then covered with plywood. I understand the names are written on the tops of each.

    Shouldn't USAn coffins be, especially in these pandemic times, ahem.. less.. err... or... follow trends already observed in celestial bod.. sorry.

    How do USAns fit in those tiny boxes? Fakenews.


    Looks like a snake-cemetary.

    Dr. Hansen says that patients who are intubated/ventilated only have a 14 percent chance of survival.

    Do Ventilators Save COVID-19 Patient's Lives?

    Wouldn't the timing of the decision to intubate have a significant effect on the outcome?

    Well sure. Wait long enough and you won't need to intubate at all. Or do anything else except find another body bag somewhere.

    Hansen talks about the criteria for intubation in the video. In the case of CoVid-19 these criteria may need to be changed.

    IANAD; but, I agree that intubation seems inappropriate. Instead of applying pressure to the lungs, doesn't it seem like a better idea to apply a vacuum? I mean, just suck all that fluid out? Just briefly, mind you.

    Jeepers no! That only works if you have a hole in the bottom of your lungs to let the air flow through. Otherwise - collapsed lung, no fun.

    Bats sleep feets-up for a reason.

    Interesting idea. Bats cope with these viruses. Let's do what bats do. The Count was way ahead on this.

    You can introduce air as well as applying suction, you know.

    Simultaneously? Rotary breathing? I never mastered that myself. I wonder if the general public would get it.

    Maybe not as interesting as. How can there be herd immunity?

    Is Batsy da Woo as repulsive as required to maintain involuntary social distancing?

    Deja Woo / Spliff / 85555

    Ich bin jetzt raus
    Jetzt steh ich hier
    Das Wasser riecht nach Gift
    Und'n toter Vogel kommt vorbei und stirbt
    Der Kellner spielt Klavier.
    Wir sind die letzten von hundertzehn
    Wir warten bis die Zeit vergeht.
    Tausend Tage und Nächte auf See
    Das Land kommt nie zurück.
    'Ne Menge Mädchen war'n dabei und lachten
    Viel zu schön um zu gehn.
    Wir war'n so hungrig
    Wir war'n so kalt
    Wir wollten nie zurück
    Und jetzt treiben wir rum auf dem toten Schiff
    Und warten bis die Zeit vergeht.
    Deja Vu, Deja Vu, Deja Vu
    Der Rote Hugo hängt tot I'm Seil
    Die Leiche stinkt nach Shit.
    Wie'n weisser Engel
    Schön wie Schnee hängt er da
    Ey
    Du tust dir doch weh!
    War'n wilder Kerl mit feuchtem Blick
    Doch der kommt nie zurück.
    So schreib' dein Leben auf ein Stück Papier
    Und warte bis die Zeit vergeht.
    Deja Vu, Deja Vu, Deja Vu

    Not so, but if you're going to stick something that sucks into a lung, then a parallel tube supplying air (i.e. allow the gizmo to pick up any liquids without any net change in respiratory pressure.

    I've thought about a vacuum cleaner that would work that way--compressed air to loosen dirt, preceding a strong vacuum.

    Ah. Maybe not a bad idea. But try it on somebody else first, please.
