Oh, I see. TBH I regard 50 deaths per day as still pretty serious and I don't think we'd come out of lock down at that stage if that was still happening.

They wont be measuring deaths per day but ICU admissions per week.

60/100/200 were the options laid out if I recall correctly. Drop below the threshold they decide to use and lockdown is over, then comes back in when it crosses back over that threshold.

Statements from ExCeL London and the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company regarding the NHS Nightingale Hospital



Jeremy Rees, Chief Executive, ExCeL London said:

“The use of ExCeL London for NHS Nightingale London has always been provided to the NHS rent free. We joined the national effort to combat coronavirus immediately and worked in close partnership with the NHS to ensure this hospital could be up and running in a matter of days.

“The initial agreement with the NHS included a contribution to some fixed costs. We have since decided to cover the fixed costs ourselves.

“The ExCeL London facility is fully available to the NHS, and we are here to support all their needs and requirements during this crisis.

“I’ve seen first-hand the fantastic work that NHS Nightingale London is doing to save lives and respond to the largest national emergency the UK has faced in a generation. It is a privilege to support the NHS and its wonderful staff working tirelessly night and day to protect people and save lives.”

Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, MD and GCEO of Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) said:

“Protecting people and saving lives are of the utmost importance as we face this unprecedented global pandemic.

“We are doing all that we can to help the UK through these challenging times. To be clear, profit has always been the furthest thing from our minds. The venue was offered rent free from the initial conversation with the NHS, and ADNEC Group will ensure the ExCeL London partnership comes at no cost to the NHS.

“It is our firm commitment that we will not charge a penny for the use of our facilities, and we will provide the NHS with the operational and logistical support it needs for NHS Nightingale London.

“We stand in solidarity with Britain in facing this crisis together, as friends and partners.”

Given how they have treated the press at City its very unlikely but someone needs to get very aggressive and make sure big, visible retractions and apologies are issued.

Me too S. incidentally many thanks for continuing the "news" on things City, despite your home isolation.

My daughter who lives in Yorkshire actually stayed at home for her CV treatment because hospital were happy that way because she had all symptoms except breathing difficulty. They rang every 2 hours to make sure (she has a very low immune system) but she has now recovered and is back to her usual health.

Good to hear that mate.
 
Can I ask a simple question and it will probably receive a simple answer?

If all this money we are printing didn't actually exist, why does it need paying back?

What's to stop the government just printing what we need when we need it?

I don't see why somebody needs to be owed a return on it?

I'm calling bullshit on this!

Takeaway food & drink and not one person wearing gloves or a mask. Oh, and before you say that bloke at the end is wearing a mask take a look at this...




Has the bloke got a halo or has the video been shopped?

What a complete ****.
Regardless of fees or not it’s still a great offer and we should be that full, but not this twat who would rather we didn’t have the capacity because he doesn’t even fucking live here.

For far too long we appear to have just sat back and taken all kinds of shit thrown at us.People blame Mss Kloss but IMO it is someone higher up the ladder than her who is pulling those strings.
Enough is enough now City.

As the wheelbarrow picture indicates, the problem is that simply printing money leads to inflation.

That's the simple answer and it's far too long since I did my degree for me to provide a more detailed one.

It’s not been printed.

It does exist.

Bonds (Gilts) have been and will be purchased by private individuals/pension funds.

Him & Castles been at it all day. Sub human fuckin scum these two. There's no one done more than Abu Dhabi and these pair of parasites are looking for some technicality in the wording to put down the country which they do on a daily basis anyway. So the NHS has saved Millions because of Abu Dhabi yet who's the fuckin bad guy yet again?

Unbelievable.
