Let's first start with It requires more energy to exhale than inhale. Hogwash. Inhalation is an "active" process whereas "exhalation" is passive. Of course "some" exhalation requires work, like using a spirometer. Here are two articles that don't have too many bigly words in them. Where are your sources, by the way?

Wrong.

Oxygen levels did not go down in people who worked out: http://ajbasweb.com/old/ajbas/2013/August/446-449.pdf.

Generally, for somebody in a rested state, their blood oxygen is going to be 99 percent saturated. Even in an individual who's performing some type of aerobic exercise, their oxygen saturation is not going to go down that much," says Dr. John Smith, Associate Professor at Texas A&M University San Antonio.

As for oxygen "helping", there was this:

Some studies have shown that supplemental oxygen could improve recovery time during interval training, while others have found no significant improvement in those who used got a boost of oxygen. Other studies have shown that there is no effect of supplemental oxygen on recovery.

Excess CO2 was significantly correlated with the increase in lactic acid from resting to 10 min post-exercise.

So while oxygen saturation levels do not go down with exercise, CO2 and lactate levels certainly go higher, and the indication to use a ventilator is going to be determine more often that not by carbon dioxide levels and not oxygen. In fact, 100% oxygen is a toxin.

Our blood has evolved to capture the oxygen we breathe in and bind it safely to the transport molecule called haemoglobin. If you breathe air with a much higher than normal O2 concentration, the oxygen in the lungs overwhelms the blood's ability to carry it away.

Given your moronic "oxygen is good" binary view of the world, now we have found a second way for you to kill yourself. "Hey, I am short of breath, give me 100% oxygen because oxygen is good."

So let us go back now to Cuomo, the governor showing "real leadership", and what he said that made so much sense to you. Hey, people are short of breath with low oxygen levels, let us put them on ventilators.

So what did I just show you? In a properly functioning lung, low oxygen is never a problem. So when you have low oxygen levels, you have to identify the cause of low oxygen. Was that done?

Furthermore, fatigue is not shown to be due to low oxygen levels but correlated with high CO2 and lactate levels. Were those levels being checked prior to someone being put on a ventilator?

So someone who comes in with low oxygen, pin point pupils, breathing twice a minute, and has track marks on their arms, do you put that person on a ventilator or do you identify the cause of the low oxygen and correct it? What do you do in the above case?

IMO the call for ventilators was based on hysteria. We have all these people with Covid with low oxygen. Gee, duh, ventilators give people more oxygen. Gee, duh, we need more ventilators.

This is dumb Dem moronic hysteria. The first rule of medicine is do no harm. The first rule of politics is "do something". The second dumb Dem rule is no matter what you are doing when you are "doing something" is you defend what you did politically and never admit you are wrong. So lockdowns, hand sanitizers, social distancing, masks, vaccines, travel bans, closing schools, and ventilators were all good.

Then there is always the same over reach. Hell, can you imagine if we did not implement those things?

The problem with that standard line of BS with Covid is you can contrast and compare, and all the measures you dumb Dems were so passionate about studies showed they did either nothing or had very marginal effects.

And that is dumb Dem "science", politics masquerading as science.

Anymore of your verbal diarrhoea.

I assume you will support Eric Holder being arrested and imprisoned for defying a congressional subpoena ten years ago?

Oops, no, sorry, he was a high level democrat. And as we all know, from Nancy's insider trading to Bill's rapes to Hunter and Joe's kickbacks to Hillary's emails, and many more besides, the law doesn't apply to them. For now.

Take your claims to 60 courts to be laughed at by more than just ISG.

Simply bcos you don't like the answer, doesn't mean you can discard it as incorrect. It is correct.

I don't grant you that for one minute. I am sure many people in UK (or wherever) said the same thing about your ancestors when they fled to the USA to seek a better life. But regardless, I want to ask you this. What moral system do you have that requires you to think that only people with a high IQ should seek a decent quality of life?:

- Intelligence can be heredity. Some people are born unlucky in that regard. Why should they suffer a life of poverty?

- Intelligence can be learned. Some people are born in to poor socieities where this skill is not promoted. Why should they suffer a life of poverty?

- Education is learned. Some people are born in countries with very poor education systems. Why should they suffer a life of poverty?

- Educational success is environment. Some people are born in to dysffunctional families, and most are not born with a silver spoon in their mouth where they can go to private school. Why should they suffer a life of poverty?

Or is that where you're from? Do they not have any use for you?

Really? You let homeless bums come and live in your house? Methinks you are talking rubbish, not for the first time.

Most people in the third world are perfectly content there. They have jobs and an adequate standard of living. Many people in third world countries are wealthier than the underclass in the US.

But the underclass in the third world (the left end of the bell curve: low IQ, flaky doofuses who would fail anywhere) don't have a welfare teat to suck on in the third world. So they have nothing to lose by making the trek north to get gibs from Uncle Sam, drop an anchor baby, maybe do a couple days a week of casual untaxed labor off the books.

From the tone of this post, you are clueless about third world countries and their populations. You are clueless about the attitude of the citizenry. Mexico, for example, has a "minimum daily wage" floor of about $120 pesos per day. That's about $6 US dollars per day for a 10 hour day. "Minimum daily wage" is, of course, for extremely low skill jobs, like ditch diggers. But even folks with a higher skill level rarely make more than $300 pesos per day which is about $15 USD.

Now, do these folks making $15 USD per day have jobs? Sure, Do they have an adequate standard of living? That depends upon how one defines adequate, doesn't it? If by adequate, do you mean do they have a roof over their head? If so, then the answer is yes. But if by adequate do you mean do they have hot water in their dwelling? If not, then the answer is no.

Are some in third world countries wealthier than the poor in the US? Sure, but not by much. Many physicians in Mexico earn about $35,000 USD per year. Poverty level in the US for a family of 4 is about $26,000 per year.

You white robe is showing.

Nobody is saying the flaky losers and criminals who break into the US are going to become lawyers, engineers and doctors. They aren't. The vast majority simply lack the IQ, never mind the industriousness, English language skills, or whatever else.

What they do is first get welfare gibsmedats, which adds into the national debt. Not only direct cash handouts to them, but the cost of housing them, flying them around, giving them healthcare (and many of them have various diseases), giving them legal aid, the infrastructure and logistics of setting up the legal processes which they all just ignore anyway, and much more. It all adds up. You're a democrat so you probably have a makework govt job or on welfare yourself so you don't understand the reality of how costs build up, but trust me, they do.

Then they have anchor babies. As the old song goes: "We have a hobby, it's called breeding. Welfare payments for baby feeding". More healthcare, free gibs, free education, free child services, etc, etc (when I say "free", of course, I mean "added to the $30 trillion national debt)..

First off, you and every other RethugliKKKan on this board have posted many times in the past that people are crossing the border to take American jobs. I will happily relay those post numbers if you want. And every RethugliKKKan politician says the same thing. So what you just admitted was that you lied. The only "jobs" these folks "take" are the ones you and your "real American" brothers refuse to do. Like mucking out stalls or picking fruit or somesuch.

And yet somehow you failed to mention (surprise, surprise, surprise) the taxes these folks pay. Every time these workers buy something, they pay taxes. In states without an income tax, they pay even more taxes. Or that, since these folks often purchase "fake" SS cards, that they pay into FICA without ever getting a dime in return. Or that these undocumented workers are often paid less than minimum wage. Or that the businesses that hire these undocumented workers are mostly owned by (yep, you guessed it) RETHUGLIKKKANS. https://www.theatlantic.com/business...-taxes/499604/ and https://www.texastribune.org/2016/12...erground-econ/.

And your "welfare" tripe is just that. Tripe. The standard RethugliKKKan hogwash littany of complaints that, of course, leaves out the 1996 Welfare Reform act. https://www.brookings.edu/research/w...-non-citizens/ and https://aspe.hhs.gov/reports/summary...er-current-law Of course, you'll say "But they can still get 'state welfare benefits'. " What is interesting is that you RethugliKKKans say "states rights" only when it suits you. If course, there hasn't been a RethugliKKKan, ever, who actually understood that.

By the way, unless you are a "Native American" (you would call them Indians but you'd be wrong), you are an immigrant.

You need to get a source of information that isn't so biased, but the bottom line is that your Klan robe is showing.

Yes, my country has open borders to nearby countries. Anyone can come and live here. Whereas USA has NAFTA. USA only wants the goods, not the people. Typical pig-headed and selfish approach.

No socialist compalins about people having an opportunity to better themselves. What they want is that opportunity. Your approach denies them that. If someone has the misfortune to be born in a less desirable country, they are consigned to a life of poverty and destitution. But II guess you, being a USA neo-lib, wouldn't care. It's not your problem. As long as YOU are ok, the world is just great.

The democrats will be pushing hard to get their subpoenas enforced.

Steve Bannon needs to be real scared of winding up in jail.

Federal prisons can be nasty, mean, hard places for pretty boys.
