Yes that's a permanent solution but not an immediate solution for ppl gasping for breath now..grow some spine and say that PM Care is a fraud and failed hands down

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. ??
