ryoumawell i don't want to get stressed but i might have to read that one.  (bg for anybody who is interested: monbiot is one of only very few non-stenographer journalists who early noted the evil of the (so-called) uk science media centre; that propagarnda organization has been said to have been founded initially basically to deny global warming and to deny m.e., which is possibly related to long covid.  it then went on06:12

ryoumato perform general corporate shill activities.  monbiot is writing on long covid recently i think and the next logical step is for him to do investigative reporting on that connection.  swiss re has long been a conflict of interest of the groups that have targeted m.e. and long covid.  a great deal is possible to emerge from it.  as a reinsurer it stands to lose a great deal by having its past activities revealed or06:12

kreyrenWhat is the average lung capacity in L/Min ?19:09
kreyrenAccording to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_volumes it's 6 Litres? So in L/Min it would be 6*60=360 L/Min ?19:12
izkreyren: you would need to use the tidal breathing volume amount, not the total lung capacity -- you don't breathe in and exhale your entire lung capacity every breath19:21
izwell, idk what you are even trying to measure19:21
izbut assuming related to normal breathing in and out, b/c using the breath per minute rate19:22
kreyren<iz "well, idk what you are even tryi"> I have a "pear flow meter" designed for people with astma to monitor their lung capacity and it measured 530 L/Min for me so i wanted to compare that to something x.x19:27
kreyrensame as this one https://shop.apotal.de/peak-flow-meter-asmaplan-1st-07186278 but different branding ... also mine is like 16 years old or so O.o19:28

BrainstormLjL: From cen.acs.org: error parsing title ('NoneType' object has no attribute 'string')19:42
LjLkreyren, 6 liters/minute is a typical oxygen bottle/concentrator setting, not sure if it's also the typical tidal breathing volume19:43
LjLbut your peak flow meter measures, as its name says, the *peak*19:43
LjLso if you're making a conscious effort to exhale as quickly as possible, which is what you should do, i'd expect a much higher number than the "average" breathing rate19:43
LjLi don't know if it can help spot COVID, but i guess it shouldn't hurt to do it once a day and see 1) whether it's roughly the same each day 2) whether at some point it start getting lower19:44
kreyrenseems sane to me ^-^19:50
