Where will the staff for the Nightingale hubs come from? Let's just hope and pray that we don't need them.

Yes they are, think it was on the news. What a mess this bunch in government have got us into, Johnson can’t even be bothered to attend COBRA meetings, instead spending his time on photo shoots. We haven’t even got enough testing kits.

We'll have no optimism here Farnorth, what are you thinking?

P.s. death rates are not increasing.

It is all Political game play now. The NHS and it’s staff have been abandoned by the government and their leaders to fend for themselves.

Deaths rates are increasing

The NHS is setting up new Nightingale surge hubs at hospitals across the country as part of preparations for a potential wave of Omicron admissions.

Temporary structures capable of housing around 100 patients will be erected in the grounds of eight hospitals across the country, with work starting as early as this week.
