The scary thing is the nhs isn’t exactly top heavy with extra staff to cover these nightingale hospitals. How long before we are flying doctors and nurses in internationally to give the NHS a fighting chance in the next few weeks.

A new public awareness campaign has been launched, urging people to "stay at home" in an attempt to encourage the public to comply with lockdown rules.

It comes amid growing fears that people have not been observing social distancing rules, as case numbers surge, hospitals become swamped and deaths continue to rise.

Behind again , where was this a few weeks ago

'Encourage' the public to comply with lockdown rules? How fucking lily-livered is that!?

The scientists are saying the lockdown is not at all restrictive enough. So I guess in 3 weeks time we’ll see a response to that when the figures have spiralled by enough for the government to react.

There was an ICU consultant on 5 Live last night saying traditional NHS hospitals in London won’t have enough pressurised oxygen to take in greater numbers of seriously ill Covid patients very soon. Staffing is a very big issue like you say but the physical design and plumbing of hospitals may be forcing Nightingales into Covid use in London (based on what I listened to). As opposed to continue to try and expand ICU beds in existing hospitals.

London hospitals may also send some patients to Wakefield (Yorkshire) as there is likely to be capacity to take extra patients in West Yorkshire for a few more weeks.

Great. So in a month the locals will have no beds in their own hospitals because they've been taken up by Londoners.

What further restrictions are they suggesting?
