What's the proper flow rate of O2 for a 49 y/o male who is out of breath and dizzy from laughing?

I am sure that they will rebuild with lightweight construction and be up and running in no time. Too bad this won't slow down production.

"What do you call a laminated truss factory that burns to the ground?"

"What?"

"A good start!"

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I feel bad for the workers who are at least temporarily out of work.
