Ok so put all the covid cases in the nightingale hospitals and all the non covid cases can go in the normal hospitals.. Can you gaurantee 100% than an operation in a normal hospital the paitent doesn't have covid-19.of course you can't.. It's an airborne virus max..it doesn't stop when it sees a sign saying "do not enter" this is a normal hospital.. Link to post Share on other sites

Covid patients in Covid hospitals being looked after by the sane doctors and nurses kept to Covid facilities Instead of thousands of Covid patients being treat around the country on wards of OAP’s Same docs and nurses treating Covid and none Covid It was obviously going to spread and then releasing OAP back to care homes to pass Covid on to other OAP These were the people for the best part dying of it during the first 3-5 months No fault of their own just bad Gov directive Not to mention because reg hospitals became rife with Covid other procedures ‘and appointments and diagnosis were put back 3-6 months which will result in untold suffering and deaths now and moving forward for a few years . It’s not rocket science ‘ we we’re told to keep our distance but not in hospitals where the must vulnerable are / were Your another who will argue for the sake of it Surely the fact they don't have enough doctors and nurses for the nightingale hospitals has something to do with it max, there was a major shortage of both before this pandemic and with supposedly a thild off because of covid where is all the extra staff needed to run these nightingale hospitals going to come from. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I worked for a department of the NHS many moons ago and as in all walks of life you had your fair share of wasters in fact the sick pay was almost considered a perk. It was so bad I would roster the drivers around days when I knew their sickness would be due as it was on a rolling basis. I'm not suggesting all NHS staff are like this, some do a amazing job, but apparently 76,200 NHS staff failed to turn up for work in one single day in November no private company would tolerate those levels of sickness. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It just grinds me the adulation the NHS gets when there have been other essential services through out this year that have received no credit. NHS staff get to walk past the queues in the supermarket but the bin men, sewer workers, shop workers etc still have to queue, there not all the angels the media like to make out. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I know full well they're not. I lost both my grandparents last year after being in and out of hospital for a good while and must say the NHS service was abysmal for both. You feel helpless as they are tending to your loved ones but there's no other port of call. Is this due to the NHS being on it's knees with doctors and nurses being overran or is it a case of terrible work ethic? Edited December 29, 2020 by Greb147 Link to post Share on other sites

What they all had in common was they were all lazy b*****ds who didn't give a shit about the NHS or the people they were supposedly helping. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
