Hello! The intro of our CPAP video we uploaded today contained a mis-read by Hank (this is Hank typing) saying that CPAP machines were "not much better than nothing" when the line was supposed to be "much better than nothing." We went in to edit this video in YouTube's backend, but it's taking longer than we thought it would, so we have taken the video down while it updates.

Thanks everyone, sorry the video stayed up for so long, given that the rest of the video was accurate, there was some debate over whether it was worth taking down in the meantime, but it's clear that CPAP machines are indeed much better than nothing and we didn't want there to be confusion about that.
