But my daughter sent this one to me a few weeks ago. I cant link to it on my phone, but if you go to YouTube and look for “Doctor at Queens Hospital in the U.K. advises on potential lifesaving corona virus breathing technique” you’ll see a very good breathing exercise and he ends up explaining how proning allows a large part of your lungs to function better. Honestly it’s the best video that I’ve seen. I highly recommend a look see coz it’s something that can be easily done at home.

You're right! I don't hear Trump touting the promises of prone positioning Bluepinky Apr 2020 #11
