Absolutely Carol I had to laugh though had an email from my governing body asking of I would come out of retirement and return to the General to work...I refused and then they sent me another to say they can get my DBS ready in 24 hours crazy times πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Oh ok. No good for an idle 🐿squirrel then. Ive got a long list of convictions ......all for theft....... of πŸ₯œπŸ₯œ nuts!! You are not likely to go back to the NHS until the virus tests are mandatory and the PPE is up to speed. We can't have our BB taking any risks. I mean where would we get all the magnificent views you share with us? Keep safe x πŸΏπŸ’•

I always knew you were from the wrong side of the tracks with your crim record ...

Those emoji nuts do not look like nuts well not the kind you eat or maybe some ppl do πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ oh my look at the shape of them πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

No I'm not going back it's to risky and the lack of PPE is ridiculously bad ..

I'm so missing my dog walking I have started doing aerobics on you tube in the morning to compensate until i can get out for a walk I'm totally crap at it but I'm moving πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Ύβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Ύβ€β™€οΈ

question if i may i am on long term oxygen and 12 hour bi-pap during the night. is my bi-pap similar to this new CPAP machine similar or do they do a completely different job?

Hi Poppy there not new to but just in short supply and a medical team and car ppl have got together and designed a new one which can be turned out at a rate of 1000 per day at the car plant which are getting made next week thets my understanding from the local news they are being tested in London and proving to be beneficial..

Your Bipap machine had 2 settings which helps both with inhalation and exhalation..

Cpap machines only have one setting creating positive air pressure into lungs which are more beneficial to covid 19 patients...

but dont take my answer as gospel lol I could be totally wrong..the use of CPAP machines are supposed to be getting used in hospitals to prevent patients going on to ventilators which we are also very short of ..

So the cpaps are a very quick measure I think as said that's my understanding stay safe and there maybe somone else more that can help your question a bit more πŸ’•πŸ’•
