#Legionella
People contract Legionnaires’ disease by inhaling small droplets of water (aerosols), suspended in the air, containing the bacteria.
Certain conditions increase the risk from legionella if:
... 💧 the water temperature in all or some parts of the system may be between 20-45 °C, which is suitable for growth
💧 it is possible for breathable water droplets to be created and dispersed e.g. aerosol created by a cooling tower, or water outlets
💧 water is stored and/or re-circulated
💧 there are deposits that can support bacterial growth providing a source of nutrients for the organism e.g. rust, sludge, scale, organic matter and biofilms
🤔 Legionella acquired its name after an outbreak of a then-unknown "mystery disease" sickened 221 persons, causing 34 deaths.
The outbreak was first noticed among people attending a convention of the American Legion—an association of U.S. military veterans. The convention occurred in Philadelphia during the U.S. Bicentennial year in July 21–24, 1976.

Homeless people make us miss NHS targets, says UK’s chief dentist
"The British Dental Association’s leader has accused homeless people of being “no-hopers” and suggested it was sometimes acceptable to deny them treatment." / #theguardian
Not many of you know this, but I was made homeless when I first arrived in the UK. I travelled from Poland to make a fresh start, my accommodation was sorted and I had £200 to my name....
... Pretty much as soon as I arrived I was told that my accommodation was no longer available and my situation became very desperate . Thankfully I wasn’t homeless for very long, and now I share a home with my lovely family 🧔👶👰🐶, but I can’t help feel for those that I see still living on the streets and often think:
👉 what is their story, was it their fault and what care do they get ❓
Now the reason I am telling this is because I’ve just come across this article and I want to see what you think.
http://bit.ly/HomelessDentist
👉 Does your practices need more support with providing care to vulnerable groups for example the homeless ❓
👉 Is the current situation surrounding care for the homeless impacting your NHS targets ❓
👉Do the homeless have a real chance of receiving better care when top decision makers are disrupting progress with their unsavory views/comments ❓
What would be your solution?
I appreciate we all have an opinion on this, but please keep it respectful and also respect others 😍
