But Doesn’t matter as long as we have capacity to treat all those that need it that’s the important thing There was talk of mothballing them a few months ago - we were even asked if we’d buy back some of the products we’d supplied. That never happened though. What I do know is that people have suggested (on here) that until the nightingales are being used then there’s not a problem. That bit I find baffling. “Let’s wait til they’re dying in their thousands and the corridors are blocked before taking it seriously and imposing draconian measures!!!” Edited January 10, 2021 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2021 Fire Service Estates Team were employed to create the Manchester Nightingale Hospital and then later used to dismantle it. I’m not sure if “dismantle” meant putting just the critical care equipment back into storage or completely clear all of the room dividers they’d used to create treatment areas but either way, the Manchester isn’t still as available as it was when it first went up.

I've not seen or heard that, but if true that's great. I thought we'd only done just under 2M in total, but if it was 2M last week, on top of the 1M we'd already done then that's ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s fair enough but suppose unless you get a breakdown of days/times of traffic increases it’s hard to tell Must say apart from commuting times it’s very quiet around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the army can help scale it up and really nail it, we could be in good shape by early March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'd be interested to hear folks views on the footballers breaking these lockdowns. I heard Man City had said that because the players who went to Dubai went for commercial reasons that was ok, despite being disappointed. Now, that appears disingenuous to me, especially as those players are putting in harms way staff at clubs who are following rules and not jetting off here, there and everywhere. @Rudy will have more insight into this, just interested in people's thoughts.

Sage woman highlighted 2 areas why this lockdown isn't working. 1. Too many children going to school because the govt have relaxed rules on who is a keyworker 2. Too many tradesman visiting people's home.A new jacuzzi being fitted isn't essential, the new garage can wait a few weeks and it isn't a disaster if the windows are a bit dusty because they havent been cleaned for 6 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 My ex got a letter she was a key worker. She's an internal comms manager at a university, who works from home! Not a key worker. Disagree about home.bargains. It is important for a lot of cheap stuff for a lot of folks, our one in Lewisham has a queue during lockdown, mainly people getting cleaning stuff it seems. Quite a few Fray Bentos pies as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
