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.

 * One of the cited references in our proning article is from the New York Times'. DMacks (talk) 05:22, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * And the second is from The Times (of London). The issue has been mentioned before on the RD . 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)


 * In a hospital context:-
 * BBC Radio - Coronavirus: 'Proning' technique saved my wife's life
 * BBC News - I went from spreadsheets to proning Covid patients
 * Reuters - WHO issues new clinical advice on treating COVID-19 patients
 * Thorax (British Medical Journal) - Awake prone positioning in COVID-19
 * I also found How to self prone by a doctor employed by a British pillow manufacturer.

 * It didn't do much good for Eric Garner. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:59, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Was that at all necessary or appropriate? --OuroborosCobra (talk) 05:04, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It contradicts the premise. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 09:28, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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? carrots→ 17:06, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
