Anyone else feel like standing at the cave entrance ticking off the register?

Would it be possible for them to develop a rudimentary communications system with the boys by doing things like "three taps on the palm of the hand means stay as still as possible and let us take control" and something else means "remember the breathing exercises we taught you" and things like that?
I personally don't think a very mild medication is such a bad idea. Keeping calm is key to survival. IMO when it was discussed I assume they mean something mild to calm yet they are fully aware and cognizant.
I remember this morning they cleared a large space in front of the cave entrance for the ambulances.
So yes, it might start soon - if not already in progress!
It is night there now btw.
Divers regularly communicate with hand signals. It is an easy transition to touch communication.
There are helmet devices with radio communication, but IIRC they are bulky. There may not be room.
I do think the divers can get the boys out, but it is dangerous. I am praying for them.
Seems risky to me to medicate them with something they have not had before. There are risks of side effects with any new medication. There is no way to gauge each boy's reaction to the medication before hand and no time to wait and see if it is safe for them or if the dosage is correct. I think the boys are mentally strong and with a couple days of food will be physically strong enough to go through this without being drugged. JMO. One advantage to their youth is that they do not realize all that can go wrong, so they are less likely to have intense fear of the dangers, IMO. Young boys their age are more likely to be dare devils, IME. They think they are invincible. As long as they listen to the scuba divers instructions I think they can get out. JMO.
i just noticed while checking news sites that HAD been posting
live updates that LIVE UPDATES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED.
Guessing the Thai Gov. has ordered the news blackout in preparation for the exits.
thai time is 12-14 hours ahead of US, so it's night time there.
Bet that they've cleared all reporters from cave exit area.

It may have been around the time the ambulances and new equipment was being brought in. ??? Hard to know when thisI noticed when trying to check The Guardian's live feed updates that they were suspended eight hours ago and was wondering what that was about...
Valium, Xanax.
But that can make some sleepy. That seems dangerous. Can’t have them just falling asleep.
Oh jeez. I’m terrified. I’m really really worried. Also how did they not hallucinate. How did none of the children go nuts in that ink black dark. I’m grateful they didn’t but I’m very curious how time was spent other than some meditation. I feel bad for the divers and the chain of command having to make these quick decisions. Unless all goes well they will be blamed... this is a loose loose situation that I truly hope they will win. They all deserve the happy ending. It’s Independence Day here in the US. May they have the strength and good fortune to see the light again and have their freedom back.It may have been around the time the ambulances and new equipment was being brought in. ???

is actually going down but the news blackouts tell me it's NOW.
