COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Can I add it’s great gestures to offer all these venues to put icu beds in but how are we going to staff them it’s not just a case of saying you come of fracture clinic and look after that patient on a ventilator, you have to be trained on these machines fit tested etc etc icu is manic at the moment
this is not a short fix, you can’t just put any nurse looking after a ventilated person it doesn’t work like that

Thousands and thousands of retired qualified nurses have been recalled

just a bit of perspective. 50,000 people died from the flu 2017/2018. Not sure this is helpful to the discussion.

1- it’s not
2- this isn’t the flu
3- the flu has a vaccine
4- this is far more contagious and has a higher mortality rate

If they only need to train them on using a ventilator that can't take to long can it? Don't people have them in their homes and their families get trained how to use them? Excuse my ignorance if im totally wrong.
