I think it's needed now, but let's hope they won't need to go further than the initial 500 beds.

Re: Nightingale Hospital (ExCeL)

Makes sense army know how, speed is imperative to deal with expected rise in patients. Army will have equipment and training to support NHS.

It will be needed because people are stupidly still mingling and not taking basic hygiene precautions when they get home.

Too right, like the idiots who wanted to send me into London for 3 months to carry out non-essential works on the railway, I refused and now have no job, and no money!
It beggars belief that anyone would want to send people into what is basically a plague zone, especially when we're being told to avoid places unless absolutely necessary, I hope they go bankrupt!

On the flip side to this, Birmingham International airport has handed over a couple of hangers to use as emergency morgues if necessary.
