Cryonics vs. the pandemic

Show all headers | View raw

To my knowledge, in the US there are cryonics patients in Arizona,
California, and Michigan, and one in Colorado.  They're not dependent
on electricity, despite all the comic strips that show them being
accidentally unplugged.  But they are stored in liquid nitrogen, which
has to be regularly replenished, as it gradually boils off.  And it
has been replenished, in some cases for over 53 years.

I'm curious what's happening in California now that all "non-
essential" businesses are shut down.  Since the law doesn't recognize
those patients as having any hope of revival, presuably both the
cryonics firms themselves and the firms that manufacture and deliver
the liquid nitrogen to them are considered non-essential.
