Why Aren't We Filling Up The Nightingale Hospitals With All The Covid Cases?
If some regional hospitals are filling up with covid cases, why aren't they being shifted to the nightingale hospitals, I thought that's what they were there for? Or does the filling up of local hospitals make better dramatic headlines on the BBC for which they can then send a film crew around the hospital to show how we are all going to die a horrible death which hopefully will then keeps the natives in check?

// Nightingale hospitals were for step down and recovering patients,// they have gases plumber in for ventilators actually
the juniors and ( some seniors) were being retrained to do ventilation with some success - anaesthetists of course stepping up and saying "I'm free!" and orthopods showing a certain amount of disbelief ( we do WHAAAAT?) and psych asking "do you have any idea why I did psychiatry?"

Rowanwitch "Nightingale hospitals were for step down and recovering patients, they would be staffed with the doctors and nurses brought back from retirement and military personnel. Not suitable for infection control cases as the are large open spaces. Cost is also a factor. You can't ask the retired staff to come back indefinitely because from experience in hospital bed management I know once those beds have been open a few months they will be relied on and cases will build up accordingly."
Not true according to the BMJ Rowan https:/
If all the people admitted were already infected with Covid then yes, special care would need to be taken by staff but surely viral infection control measures would not be so important as the plan was for only infected people to be admitted.
