How to hug the Grandchildren in the Era of COVID - Use your CPAP Machine

Post by Reuven Gruber » Sun Aug 16, 2020 12:49 pm

Because of COVID I haven't been able to hug my grandchildren for several months - Intolerable situation - right!

So As an engineer I should be able to engineer a solution
I'll simply completely wrap myself in disposable plastic - Problem solved YIKES except for the side effect of suffocating after the first minute
What to do - CPAP TO THE RESCUE. Put the CPAP machine away from the grandchildren where the intake air should be safe and for good measure add a in-line Bacterial/viral filter between the delivery hose and the mask

PROBLEM SOLVED - COVID defeated

A simple non-medical facemask on both you and your grandchildren, and then a good hand-washing would have been equally as effectives and likely more enjoyable.

Love your ingenious innovation that allows you to give and receive hugs from your beautiful Grandkids, while keeping all healthy and safe! We all could use a few more hugs during these trying times! Your Grandkids are fortunate to have such a loving Grandpa, your pictures are heartwarming! :) :)
