I assumed the last one was a joke, but it’s real and it’s spectacular.

I’m told that, when delirious with fever, intubation recreates the feeling of being in the womb. Peaceful!

This. People keep saying nobody will want to go to bars, restaurants, movies, etc when this is over. I think the opposite is true. I expect a surge due to people craving social interaction and their old routines.

Saphier argued that “at some point, they will have to come off the ventilators.”

“And they’re either going to survive or they’re either going to die,” she added.

And in response to the couple stuck in the Maldives, while I wouldn’t go full horizontal in their situation, I would have a few demands (presented as strongly worded requests):

  1. Staff work in shifts and those off are free to join us in the dining room (at the same big table), beach, wherever - in fact we’d greatly appreciate the company and we feel super guilty they’re stuck here so it would mean a lot to us if they weren’t stuck either working or doing nothing.

  2. We do not expect to be waited on hand and foot, so empower us to take care of ourselves a bit and we will (aka let us take plates back to the kitchen and such, wash them even).

  3. In terms of #1 the world doesn’t center around us, so if that means kicking around a soccer ball or playing video games instead of sipping cocktails on the beach, we would like to join the staff for whatever they do, assuming they don’t already hate our guts.

  4. All that goes for management/ownership too. Let’s all be chill and try to be good company for each other!
