What do you feel is appropriate? My request being ignored again or this thread moved out of the Playground?

Jokes and OT banter aside I feel there has been a lot of useful information in this thread....

Oops.

I knew what I meant

I feel it would be appropriate if the thread was moved.

Re: Falling!!! Help!!!

Did this last month too. Wonder if it'll go back up to ~70c at the beginning of next month.

The problem with that is that to find an ICU bed it will need to spend some time in an Emergency Department before many phone calls are made to find somewhere with the space and the people for it to recover. It may even need to go somewhere else!
