Low levels of oxygen in this particular situation has nothing to do with plants or oxygen in the air.

Yes, plant one tree next to every patient in ICU requiring oxygen and ask them to water it as well, even if they're intubated. And people should carry a tree on their backpack whenever they go. ??
