    Are they supposed to be overspill hospitals to take people that ordinary hospitals can't handle? Or is the idea to move as many covid-19 patients to these hospitals so they're full and our ordinary hospitals are relatively empty?

    I think if you get moved to a big warehouse you are pretty much dead tbh. People just likely to survive will be in hospital. Sorry for the negativity. Meanwhile Pinderfields is like a ghost town, they’ve cancelled elective ops,..... waiting for the coved 19 “tsunami”.... will it come?

    Yeah my understanding too, you will go into normal hospital, ‘long term’ patients will be moved

    Have you seen the cubicle 'stations' in teh ExCel Nightingale hospital. Custom made for Covid patients, well equipped and staffed hardly 'a warehouse' go online and look at the plans and the photos.

    I'm not so sure. I thought that the plan was to seperate the hospital into sections. Early admissions, more serious, recovery etc. That suggests that its for more than just the most serious but I could be wrong.

    MY question would be ..after it is all over is there a 'benefit' if that is the right word of the pandemic that the equipment can be absorbed into the NHS . Obviously not popup hospitals or staff hauled out of retirement but beds, bedding, respirators etc.
    Also as other people have said, maybe, just maybe the power that be will finally recognise the NHS deserves a higher priority particularly front line staffing levels

    Hopefully it won’t come, but that doesn’t mean there is no point preparing for it.

    Top floor at Pinderfields dedicated to Covid-19 patients we are given to understand.

    Our media not spreading the love to the joiners, electricians, builders, plumbers etc... apparently it was all down to the NHS

    Yes that's a good point. I personally think EVERYONE involved in building them has done an absolutely fantastic job from the planners who designed it right through to the person who made the sign for the front door.

    A reckon these are specialist Covid-19 hospitals to deal with the overspill, am sure I heard today that there was 2500 free beds currently available (basically beds with equipment to keep people alive) at the rate we’ve sen the last few days these will be gone by Monday maybe so these pop up hospitals are absolutely essential to the nhs and to the public who are in need, as for being a wharehouse for the ‘almost dead’ a think that’s way off the mark

    I don't think anyone thought drs and nurses built them but we do know they are risking their lives to staff them.

    Sure I saw lots of media coverage of the building of this temporary 'hospital'. I definitely saw footage showing all types of professions doing this that and the other. Didn't see any nurses with a drill though?
    Haven't personally seen anything that backs up your point. Notice that 2 nurses died today though.

    There is no way this is evenly spread. But that’s just my hunch, the same as every other model from the experts.
