There being warnings and an elderly person still not getting the message or at least trying to take precautions? That happens literally every hurricane. :( Stop with the victim blaming culture It's not victim blaming, it's extremely common for elderly people to be unaware or unable to make precautions because they're elderly and not in a condition to do so. And realistically, if this dude died after 12 minutes of being off of O2 his sats much have been abysmally low. So even if he could make plans, if he is alone the likelihood of him succeeding is low already. Now since he was sleeping and has COPD he probably has a CPAP with bleed in O2 via O2 concentrator. The "battery backup" was most likely some brand of POC (portable concentrator) which at his sat levels more than likely wasn't very useful anyway (most only go to a max LPM of 3). Chances are his CPAP powered off but he didn't wake up immediately. When he struggled to breath he probably woke up in a panic and with the lack of O2 to the brain he definitely wasn't thinking clearly. He should have been provided a cylinder from his home medical company (suppliers of his equipment) and that should have been in the room with him. Unfortunately, if it was even provided, it was probably tucked away in a closet somewhere (as per usual) instead of in the room with him where he would need it. --- Co-host of The RPGShow: A bi-weekly RPG review podcast. http://www.therpgshow.com <cite>Sajo posted [p:928659366] in Man using ...

Mardis was one of 2 million residents across central and northern California left without electricity after PG&E shut power off in anticipation of high dry winds that create perfect environments for wildfires. So is it possible to put this down to climate change? No, PG&E are very scummy. They've neglected to maintain their equipment for years, and that malfunctioning equipment caused the Camp Fire last year. They are partly responsible absolutely but they aren't to blame for the conditions that create forest fires. They failed mitigate the risk. --- Praxis Makes Perfect The only intelligent tactical response to life's horror is to laugh defiantly at it. ~Soren Kierkegaard <cite>Crepes posted [p:928660805] in Man using ...

I know there's portable ones but ones for home use might not have that sort of a function since power is assumed to always be on. :/ True. I've went and got a generator cause my home oxygen machine doesn't have batteries. I've got tanks in case I'm not up for getting the generator running, but the tanks are only good for 2.5 hours for me. --- Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul <cite>SimpleMan posted [p:928660901] in Man using ...
