everything's speculation until you know what's gone on. i was simply speculating what might be wrong as was the other poster.This is also speculation.
Thank you. It's like a piece of the safety net that you take completely for granted is suddenly no longer there. It shakes your world view just that little bit. However, me and mine are in good health, we're being sensible, and there's no reason why we should need NHS emergency care in the near future.
i'd assume it gets delivered by tankers to storage tanks? i'm quite happy to be proved wrong mind, just interested.Lots of people posting on here who have no idea how oxygen supply in hospitals works.

just hope it's a very temporary situation.

Dying to stop the boys teararsing around the house and garden so they donāt fall and break something or bang a head, is exhausting at the min. Youāre right, we take it totally for granted.This is also speculation.

No it's not. It's a real issue that hospitals aren't geared up to run all their ventilators at full capacity (as it's never been needed) at the same time. Never mind the additional ones aswell. You can't just plumb in bigger gas pipes and have unlimited pressure and treatment for this particular virus obviously needs high oxygen flow. Also their isn't an unlimited supply of oxygen available.It's reasonable to assume it will be some sort of malfunction rather than running out imminently.
Gardening and dismantling a chicken coop with my boy yesterday was an interesting experience- normally Iād be fairly relaxed that heās not going to hurt himself too much and that itās all a Learning experience-and would have let him smash the shit out of the old coop, dismantled screw by screw yesterday. Do I fuck want to have to go to A and E, risk infection and more importantly put extra pressure on NHS.Dying to stop the boys teararsing around the house and garden so they donāt fall and break something or bang a head, is exhausting at the min.

It seemed it was a technical issue.No it's not. It's a real issue that hospitals aren't geared up to run all their ventilators at full capacity (as it's never been needed) at the same time.

And I'm telling you what is a real issue.It seemed it was a technical issue.
Have asked people not to go A&E
I stay quite chipper through most of this but thatās terrifying
Tory seat.... hmmmWatford General?
Apparently becoming a problem right across the NHS. Apparently there aren't enough ventilators, testing kits, PPE or oxygen
Or Doctors. Or Nurses
It's almost as if the last 10 years have progressively eroded the services ability to cope
Ultimately it's about supply and demand. I wonder if this was covered in the never published / never actioned Cygnus pandemic report from 2016.No it's not.

Not many seem to get that, not just now but in terms of medicine etc from a general day to day aspect.Ultimately it's about supply and demand. I wonder if this was covered in the never published / never actioned Cygnus pandemic report from 2016.
