Re: you can't just conjure medical professionals from thin air.
"No, but you can give your mates millions of pounds to convert a warehouse into a "nightingale hospital" that never gets used."
Yeah, and think of all that house insurance you paid over the years and then never used. It's called contingency planning. Imagine what would have happened if we'd really needed the Nightingale hospitals and the Gov had decided NOT to implement them in advance. Remember, the idea was that they would take all the COVID patients that needed hospitalisation and maybe oxygen feed but NOT patients needing ventilators, freeing up the general wards for "normal" patients, ie keeping COVID out of hospitals as much as possible since they populated by the vulnerable.
