Proning

Indian media is giving huge coverage to prone breathing. I want to know whether American, European media published any article on this, as I can't find much coverage by international media.

And the second is from The Times (of London). The issue has been mentioned before on the RD ( Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Science/2021 January 14 § obese people to lie down on their sides). The news articles are about the practice as executed by medical professionals in a context of hospital care, while the recent articles in the Indian media cover "self-proning" by patients at home. In most countries in the " Western world", patients are hospitalized when oxygen saturation becomes an issue, so one would not expect European and American media to cover self-proning, or, at least, not as a topic having practical importance to their readership.  -- Lambiam 12:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

No, it doesn't. Normal sleeping prone doesn't involve someone having an arm around their necks. What you did was a flippant comment about someone who was murdered that's entirely irrelevant to the topic other than for to display casual cruelty. -- OuroborosCobra ( talk) 12:52, 2 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Yes, it does. Someone with a fat belly lying prone is not going to be comfortable, whether he's being murdered by cops or is voluntarily lying there. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots17:06, 2 May 2021 (UTC) reply
