If it makes you feel any better, I've never seen a vaccine administration intra-nasally either.

It does make me feel less naive, that's for sure lol. I don't know your profession but you're worlds more knowledgeable about this crap than I am.

They developed it for kids/adults who were afraid of needles but its been hit or miss on efficacy so far.

So if you test positive, lay on your stomach and you're golden?

Laying down on your back is harder on the lungs for some reason. As an asthma sufferer, I can tell you that if I'm having an attack at night and I sit up, it helps the breathing and lessens the coughing. So there's some physiological issue when laying on your back - and most patients are laying on their backs in a hospital setting. Rolling them over appears to help. Again, we learn more each day and these MDs and nurses on the front lines are freaking amazing

Former Navy Doc and his work in San Diego ICUs

The man had quickly deteriorated after he walked into the hospital 36 hours earlier, explaining that he had become ill and first sought care in nearby Tijuana, Mexico, where he was visiting his daughter. But, as Amundson’s team learned from other ICUs, when COVID-19 patients who labor to breathe are placed prone on their stomachs, their lungs readjust, frequently improving oxygen levels in a flash. “It’s almost magical,” he says. Scripps has five hospitals in its San Diego network, and the Chula Vista branch routinely transfers out COVID-19 patients, thus far preventing overload at its ICU.
Today, Amundson’s ICU only has enough staff to handle 17 patients, and they’re at 15.

 

My wife was working the phones and the hospital really hard when Chicago was at it's worst to get specialized proning beds for the ICU. Patients that used these beds had better outcomes and shorter ICU stays. Good stuff.

I think it has something to do with reducing the amount of pressure on the lungs from other organs? I could be wrong, I'm quite squeamish and never took an interest in medicine/anatomy.

I had the option of getting the flu shot for 1-2 years this way. I did it just to try it out. It’s basically just inhaling a mist. They stopped giving us the option though and I can’t remember why.

Your neck tissue and fat and whatnot rests on top of your lung passages, which collapses them a little bit and restricts air. Sleeping on your stomach with your head to the side means you don't have all that weight on your throat.

I don't understand. 

Why have masks been politicized?! 

its not like hes saying domt wear masks, in fact hes saying the opposite. wear masks. hes just saying he wont make it law. the mayor is making completly unenforcable laws and the govenir is trying to reign her in.

 

not sure what @Daniel is getting at.

I don't think so.

From my experience you need also to take some real deep breaths. 

Yeah I'm sure every situation is different. My comment was fairly tongue in cheek bc it seems nothing with this ******* virus is standard.

@MWil23 were you able to get to communion issue resolved at your church?

We have a deacons meeting this Sunday to discuss it. Long story short, we loved the prewrap idea for the elements, but some aren’t comfortable with others brushing up against it on the wrapping. I am going to pitch the idea of deacons passing them out with gloves to individuals who come forward to receive them individually as opposed to passing them in the container. I’m wide open to suggestions!
