The famous supplier of plumbing, electrical and D.I.Y. stuff has removed all of its laminated catalogues that were previously on display, and some staff are wearing those sweaty black plastic gloves. Also the short pencils are no more. Also there is a one metre distance rule being enforced.

    I have seen an Army field hospital and it was manned(and womanned) by TA doctors and nurses. So whilst the army has some accommodation the staff already have full time jobs with the NHS. The government to save money a closed the military hospitals and made the majority of the staff redundant. So the 3 armed services have limited medical resources. 


    The Chinese built a 1000 bed hospital in 2 or 3 weeks. We could not do that as it would take 2 or 3 weeks to agree the fee proposal from a huge army of consultants if the process was fast tracked! Then endless meetings of "stake holders". I reckon with a fair wind they should be able to come up with a draft design in about 2 years. Either get the Chinese to do it or don't bother. You could of course requisition all the Premier Inns and just do the best you can but where will the medical staff come from? 


    I think the process of flattening the Boris's curve is our only option. 



    The government is taking over the ExCel centre in London as a temporary hospital.  It will start off at 500 beds, but with room to ramp up to 4000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52018477
