Government site.

If you Google production of ventilators, you will find the government site where you can register to offer your services gilly.
Hope that helps.

Sorry for the rubbish fat finger typos at the beginning

Not sure what you mean Calli ? I would be more than happy to offer our services.

Imrpthinkmthat firms have offeredgillybob - can you work something out and offer your services to make ventilators?

There is equipment, there must be a need for far more but much is sitting in warehouses.
So why has our lorry driver friend been laid off? Why does his firm not offer their services to deliver this equipment?

We are all in this together.

I have a small team of very clever engineers who could be on this in seconds ananimous . Okay so we could not mass produce but we could do our bit . Instead I am lying awake wondering what to do. I cant pay then a wage this week because our contracts have all been postponed . We could be doing something to help .

Let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I really hate to be the bearer of bad new but my DH spent 2 months in ICU on a respirator and in an induced coma at the end of last year. Without this awful virus the unit was often full and difficult decisions had to be made every day.

I was very lucky in so much that my DH despite his age (67/8 he had his birthday whilst in an induced coma) he was a previously very fit man who ticked all the right boxes at the time. I doub5 he would be so “lucky” today .

That's the spirit!

Keep telling yourself what you need to GrannyLaine.

*Wonderful (people like your son)

Ah I see ananimous, layman's rather than professional's terms. I'm more familiar with the latter. Don't worry, its tricky isn't it?

It makes me question the rest of the fabric ..

Respirators being brought in from the national stockpile have rotted elastic, come to find out .. At the 11th hour ..

Persevere, and you'll get it in the end.

I could say the same about your posting, so let's not fall to nit picking

the same ? .

I don't understand your post ananimous, you can buy respirators on Amazon. Do you mean 'ventilators??'

I self isolated from the Lurkers' threads too.

Try and self-isolate yourself from them.

Considering all the "Lurkers" threads I don't see it as overkill, and expect more "dilemma" threads in the future.

I could say the same about your posting, so let's not fall to nit picking.

I find the repetition of Dilemma frankly a turn+off, it is overkill.
The subject is of course important, it may be a crisis, but it is not a “dilemma” - “ a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially ones that are equally undesirable”
