The mystery of the pandemic's ‘happy hypoxia’ Jennifer Couzin-Frankel Science 01 May 2020: Vol. 368, Issue 6490, pp. 455-456 Among the many surprises of the new coronavirus is one that seems to defy basic biology: infected patients with extraordinarily low blood-oxygen levels, or hypoxia, scrolling on their phones, chatting with doctors, and generally describing themselves as comfortable. Clinicians call them happy hypoxics. “There is a mismatch [between] what we see on the monitor and what the patient looks like in front of us,” says Reuben Strayer, an emergency physician at Maimonides Medical Center in New York City. ... A normal blood-oxygen saturation is at least 95%. In most lung diseases, such as pneumonia, falling saturations accompany other changes, including stiff or fluid-filled lungs, or rising levels of carbon dioxide because the lungs can't expel it efficiently. It's these features that leave us feeling short of breath—not low oxygen saturation itself, says Paul Davenport, a respiratory physiologist at the University of Florida. “The brain is tuned to monitoring the carbon dioxide with various sensors,” Davenport explains. “We don't sense our oxygen levels.” In serious cases of COVID-19, patients struggle to breathe with damaged lungs, but early in the disease, low saturation isn't always coupled with obvious respiratory difficulties. Carbon dioxide levels can be normal, and breathing deeply is comfortable—“the lung is inflating so they feel OK,” says Elnara Marcia Negri, a pulmonologist at Hospital Sírio-Libanês in São Paulo. But oxygen saturation, measured by a device clipped to a finger and in many cases confirmed with blood tests, can be in the 70s, 60s, or 50s. Or even lower. ... Hypotheses about what causes it are emerging. Many doctors now recognize clotting as a major feature of severe COVID-19 (Science, 24 April, p. 356). Negri thinks subtle clotting might begin early in the lungs, perhaps thanks to an inflammatory reaction in their fine web of blood vessels, which could set off a cascade of proteins that prompts blood to clot and prevents it from getting properly oxygenated. ... QUESTION: Why did the patient's extremely low SpO2 level not causing their brain to signal respiratory problem?

Write а methоd cаlled cаlcPerimeter() which calculates and returns the perimeter оr circumference оf a square ('S') or a circle ('C'). This method accepts two parameters, one numeric value (side, greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 1000), and a character code ('S' or 'C') which indicates the shape which requires the calculation. Write a main() method which tests your method code and displays the resulting perimeter or circumference including the shape name (square or circle). Be sure to handle invalid input. Test your code with at least 2 or 3 of the following input values: calcPerimeter(100.2,'S') should return 400.8calcPerimeter(250.5,'C') should return approximately 1573.93792 calcPerimeter(-25,'S') should return 0 due to invalid inputcalcPerimeter(1003,'C') should return 0 due to invalid input calcPerimeter(42.5,'T') should return 0 due to invalid input Copy and paste your entire class containing main (and the method) in the textbox provided.
