April 25, 20206 yr Furthermore, Michelle Keegan... This'll be unpopular, but... Cracking body - but she's had help for sure, no-one can be that skinny and retain d-cups. Had work on her boat too I reckon'. Only girl comes close in the 'their mam wouldn't recognise them' stakes is Jermaine Pennant's missus and Babestation favourite, Alice Goodwin. BEFORE. AFTER. Now don't get me wrong, both girls will be relieved to hear I would - before, during and after. I just want to highlight a bit of chicanery on their part.
April 25, 20206 yr Apologies for bursting your bubble, Rudy - but if I self-pollute then the inspiration during the act must be somewhat based in reality. 😊

One of them had the just the one job of licking my starfish whilst the other 2 attended to all matters front of house. Reality isn’t an option for me.
April 25, 20206 yr Too much trouble imo... I already go to the lengths of dunking my nob in mouthwash, I couldn't be arsed sanitising my ringpiece too.

Genuine question as I find you quite a reasoned individual (apart from on the don of course ) is this a waste of money and resources or was it the right thing to do in your opinion to open all these huge ancillary hospitals at huge cost to the tax payer which now at this moment appear overkill.

You can easily adapt though, have the pre enhanced keegan on starfish duty, that means the enhancements weren't in vain, everyone's a winner.

How could you answer though until we are out the other side of this? If there's a second, worse peak in November coinciding with flu season then that place may be full and instead of nurses if they can't press student nurses into action there'll be squaddies with 2 hours of training in attendance. On the data available massive expansion of available beds was the right course of action and it still may prove to be so.

Given how many of those 10 million will live out in the sticks, it might be more accurate to have it on a region-by-region basis for a satisfactory comparison.

I was just canvassing spiders opinion as he I think is quite balanced. some on here will be screaming it’s a waste of money space etc yet would happily have had 50000 ventilators sat unused. But hence why I avoid conversing with or directing Questions at them.

Honestly, I’d rather the government had built a hospital that treated 41 people, than have those 41 people dying in a corridor. Im just relieved it’s not been needed. I’m sure some people will ty and rip into the government over it, but those people should be ignored. Plus, if there is a really bad second wave later in the year it may still be needed. Personally, I’m delighted it’s only needed to treat 41 people. If it was full, we’d be in lockdown until August. Its a massive positive for me.

April 25, 20206 yr Author If they didn’t build it and people died because of a lack of beds the government would be ridiculed

Maybe not so well in some other aspects of this but think it’s showing possible lessons have already been learned hopefully. i for one am starting to feel more positive that we have this sort of under control as best we could hope for at the minute.
April 25, 20206 yr It's probably the aspect that's been best handled. Testing has been shambolic, Ppe patchy, but the construction of the nightingale hospitals has been impressive. having that surge capacity may also be a critical factor in allowing us to exit out of lockdown. Especially with the time lag between infections and hospital admissions. Edited April 25, 20206 yr by ProfessorWoland

We have capacity to undertake the tests but I’m not sure we have the process for actually delivering them anywhere near. Why I’ve no idea as I don’t understand what’s involved. on another more worrying note. WHO have just announced there is no evidence that having the infection leads to immunity and thus stops reinfection. If this is true this really is a game changer for the worse
