I seriously hope that I won’t have to resort to name calling here on HN but are you for real? Oxygen and advanced life support is not unique to COVID and his tweets don’t say so either.

How the hell is this equivalent to shouting “FIRE” in a crowded place?

To be fair, anyone looking for oxygen in the current situation would assume it is for Covid. Not saying 88 old grandpa of his cousin did not deserve attention, but the guy got called from cabinet ministry, thrice.

That principle was never intended as a reason for censorship. People shouting fire in a crowded theater should receive a trial. Facebook and Twitter aren't known for having a formal appeals process, and you're lucky if they even give you any attention.

Did you read that the statement of it being a heart attack came from the police (that are being used to intimidate people) and not medical professionals.

Oxygen is typically necessary for people with heart conditions. Any pressure on the supply will have impact all across the board.
