> Proned patients are too sick to survive at home. Proned patients are just people lying on their stomachs, are they not? I get that its something you would recommend to someone who is really low on oxygen, but why aren't people who aren't too sick to survive at home being told to do this also? Is there a downside? Like if your pulse oximeter starts readying 88 and slowly dropping, its probably a good idea to start proning, in the very least at night while sleeping?
