It kind of crossed my mind that the nightingale hospitals should have been the first port of call for Covid patients when they were up and running. Aside from the obvious staffing issues it may have reduced the virus risk within the hospitals themselves and allowed other treatments to continue.
But there is a staffing problem and there would have undoubtedly been other issues that I’m simply not aware of. But I like the idea of keeping Covid hospitals separate from other treatment centres.
I think it is understandable that some people think they are fake, or at least a photo opportunity for a Government wanting to be seen to be doing something, and then showing that it had been successful by closing them down as they were no longer needed.
From memory there was no additional resource available to staff them - that had to come from the hospital where patients where being transferred from.
We all know how well staffed the NHS are,Pitt they can’t get the managers to work on the wards.
Dyfed-Powys Police said more than 500 vehicles were in the area on Tuesday, including a minibus from Cheltenham.
The force said people from mixed households travelled in the minibus
A minibus full of Mastermind contestants.
Maybe its not a British strain after all.
Or maybe he caught it off a Brit who travelled to the US?
That`s a damned lie and you know it.
None of us have left the country since November.
Where did those retards who fled quarantine in Switzerland come from ? Switzerland only stopped flights from the UK on the 20 of December after the warnings etc.
Yep. Same in my part of the woods.
The only thing I will put onto the government is, you can try to soft sell but when people just do not following regulations, do you have the will to put heavy penalties and enforce them even at the risk of having people throw eggs on you. If getting people to stay at home is so important to the health of country and economy and society, why wouldn’t the penalties and enforcement correspond to its importance? What are the penalties for breaking these regulations right now in various part of Europe, just curious.
If you are a politician/related to a politician/employed as a political adviser = nothing apart from a few days in the media being called a twat.
If you are a “celebrity” a few days in the media whining about how difficult your life is since silly covid.
If you are an ordinary person/business owner you can be fined up to £10000(extreme cases rarely happens).
Apart from those 2 first examples you mentioned, which honestly happens too often even for non Covid related cases around the world, the enforcement of “over-the-top” penalties might be necessary to tell the everyday people that the government mean what they say, despite what people might think about them. If this is really so crucial, governments cannot be trying to play Mr Nice Guy.
If they go over the top with fines they risk losing votes and the respect of the public.
Whats a Government without the respect of the public?
People are generally too stupid for their own good.
Fat sam has called for a break in the Premier League:
"When I listen to the news that the variant virus transmits quicker than the original virus, we can only do the right thing, which is have a circuit break.
"I am 66 years old and the last thing I want to do is catch Covid.
"As much as we’re getting tested - we had one positive this week - it seems to be creeping round. No matter how hard we try, no matter how many times we get tested, how we wear our masks, how we sanitise our hands, we’re still catching a lot infections round the country.
“If that helps [circuit breaker], let’s do it and let the season run a little longer when we get through it.”
Way to go sam. 
His head is too fat for a mask, needs a 100 litre bin baggie.
Absolute fucking bellends, the whole lot of them.
He may not have any history of travel, but what abou those in and around his bubble? With an effect track and trace system, they would be able to isolate the source of where he got it from and I bet it will likely be someone that has recently been in London or South East England
My post was ironic.
We are all interconnected,but not everyone understands that.
