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.

    John Peckham:

    Government must have read my post. Where will they get the medical staff? Perhaps the retired medics being called up will be staffing the new hospital?




    Ventilators on the news again tonight. This is rather like addressing the matter of capacity for undertaking all those new landlords' reports by buying more multifunction testers.  You need to know how to use them. Just who is going to staff the critical care beds? ??


     




    Medical staff who are not supporting non-urgent procedures. Plus those who have answered the call to come out of retirement etc.

  • On a positive note I am hearing that the closed London City airport is to reopen as RAF Nightingale to serve the nearby converted Xcel centre to the Nightingale hospital. I have flown in and out of London City on Flybe and BA and they are very steep climb outs and descents. Flying around the Shard at night is spectacular. Landing a C17 Globemaster or Hercules is going to be a bum clenching. Chinooks will be easy peasy.

    I assume patients are going to be flown from locations around the country to the new hospital which is very close to the City Airport.

    Seemingly London is under a lot more stress than the rest of the country at the moment - so possibly more likely to be exporting patients than importing them.


    Or maybe it's just for bringing in equipment - or maybe repatriated UK citizens from overseas.
