On the NHS l am staggered that here we are 6 months later and would it not be hard to use some of the hospitals just for Covid 19 services and use some of them for anything that is not Covid 19 related and also apply that to community GP surgeries as well.
That way we could start to deal with the ticking health timebomb where many with health problems are still waiting for important tests and diagnoses.

Agree on the NHS point. We set up the Nightingale hospitals at substantial cost yet most sit dorment. We should be using them to treat Covid patients to help keep as many hospitals as possible Covid free and running as close to business as usual as possible.

While it’s easy to pay some contractors to temporarily renovate building you can’t magic the staff from nowhere.

Doesn't help if the nearest Nightingale is far away. Also if you don't know if you are CV positive until after you are on ward or emergency department.
Do you want your family member taken away from your local unit to a large unfriendly Nightingale?

“Unfriendly” is relative. If it’s saving your life it may be the friendliest place on earth.

We may struggle to find enough staff to man the Nightingales.

It's almost as if letting a deadly virus, which causes serious complications for many, rip through an entire population uncontrollably is an extremely bad idea.

You still fail to understand the argument and you are on the wrong thread to start all this off again.

Re: Changes on the High Street
Absolutely bugger all to do in Liverpool now apart from watch TV . . . Sky hoping to catch quite a few with clever marketing maybe?

Re: Changes on the High Street
I am thinking about doing all my shopping online as people can walking about mask free unchallenged, which in my opinion is totally wrong.
They should have a card issued by you doctor, and then you should be restricted in the hours you can visit as there is a chance you can spread this virus without knowing it.
If I know then what I know now I would have stopped my parent going out and just perhaps my mum would be alive today.
But I get peed of of being called a bully for saying masks should be mandatory, no mask no entry no excuses, perhaps the death rate would be lower.

I'm guessing the rents have become so cheap now/free that it's worth their while opening up shops.
A reminder that Virgin Media closed theirs this year https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ns-lifted.html

Exactly - per my earlier post, #609
Will be interesting to see how Sky gets on. I suspect its rent (if any) will be far less than VM's was.

Re: Changes on the High Street
I've tended to see manned Sky promotional stands, inside shopping centres and out on the "high street".
