on Thursday evening for care of people will clap louder and More Joyous every week. It is a deeply moving tribute that captures the essence of our spirit in These Times of need. It is also the only time that the communities come together and create a rare feeling of letting go and togetherness, a gentle reminder of an earlier era.

But to clap when the people disappeared, we have seen interesting small peaks in the accident rates that we had not anticipated.

the people may need to be a little more careful, especially if You ' sit ve been the whole day And Then You get to clap up. It may be the only time that the elderly Come Outside and the risk of falls, and I would just remind people to Take Care of.

"The clapping for carers has us do a little more," Says Richard Pilling, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Harrogate District Hospital.

"It is Very Nice that everyone is excited about the to show support, but it's escalated, so that people come from banging pans and see who can clap the loudest, and there the accidents are.

"It's nice to walk to your front door and You show appreciation, it is A Chance to see your neighbors, and it is nice to see people sticking together during the lockdown. They just do it less vigorously - You don't have to be the loudest on The Street . "

You Stand on order with him for the rest of The Day , but the next morning - The Day we met - She started to panic again and rejected it.

They admitted that there was a moment during their first 48 Hours in The Hospital , if She thought She could die, but in this moment had passed.

But, I was a witness to Dr. Whitaker's talk of another patient, A Woman in the early 70s who had tried CPAP and just couldn't do it again.

He asked her if She would use it, if it's a case of life or death. "No," was The Answer .

"It's not what would My Family , but it is not your decision," She Said .

Then She added: "I know I'm not one to give You a lot of opportunity to Help Me . "

"My Daughter knows I'm bad and I'm getting better and better. You know, it is not prohibited to take a while, until I scared me again Full Force , but She is," Kelly. "When this all started, I was very open with her and told her I was looking for very bad people, because everyone in the NHS was. It was hard and She is very, very good. "
