Pressure.

You know how you have to blow with *some* amount of force in order to blow bubbles in a drink with a straw? Same thing.

The pressure of the liquid in the marg exceeds that that of force of gravity of the liquid in the ‘rona.

And there’s some air pressure in the mix, too.

Like if you took a gallon of milk and flipped it upside down, it’d pour out, but it would chug out in fits and starts as the air pressure sees a balance. I’m going to assume the same would be happening in the ‘rona.
