Why is the Nightingale Hospital mostly empty? Because hospitals who would transfer patients there also have to transfer staff Robert Peston has revealed. How many patients are at the Nightingale? 19.
It’s no wonder that it is empty.

It’s a stunt.

From Mr Peston:

Lastly, Johnson don’t come back to work, resign. Hancock, resign.

Should we really wait for an enquiry and possible prosecution?

Isn’t it obvious how criminally the UK’s preparation for and response to COVID-19 has been?

Lie after lie. Incompetence and evasion. And now this.

‘The upbeat tone of that briefing stood in sharp contrast with the growing unease of many of the government's scientific advisers behind the scenes. They were already convinced that Britain was on the brink of a disastrous outbreak’ reuters.com/article/us-hea…
‘From the outset... work by scientists had shown that, with only limited interventions, the virus would trigger an "overwhelming epidemic" in which Britain's health service was not going "to get anywhere near being able to cope with it. That was clear from the beginning."’
‘Johnson, who himself has sickened with the virus, moved more slowly than the leaders of many other prosperous countries to adopt a lockdown. He has been criticised for not moving more swiftly to organise mass tests and mobilise supplies of life-saving equipment and beds.’

The UK’s Covid-19 strategy dangerously leaves too many questions unanswered | Coronavirus outbreak | The Guardian

All weekend I have been trying to work out what are government policy & actions.

They have done next to nothing.

Please read this. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
China: ‘They listened to the WHO. They tested extensively, setting up mobile testing centres... They cut the time from onset of symptoms to lab result... They identified family clusters... and arranged isolation centres for contacts.’
‘they mobilised communities... Yes, Wuhan was in lockdown, but across the country local authorities had high autonomy to help people abide by these best public health principles. This was not a terrorised population but one passionate about tackling an existential threat.’

I'm an NHS doctor treating coronavirus – you have no idea how bad things could get | The Independent

Government have done nothing.

Their talk of a plan is foul, hot air.

Where is the extra capacity? Where is the preparedness?

It does not exist. independent.co.uk/voices/coronav…
‘Until now, a suspected case was not allowed to be tested unless they had an obvious link to certain countries or infected patients. I’ve seen at least three people with severe disease who weren’t allowed to be tested, and heard of dozens more.’
‘This long-overdue policy change will soon be reflected... in a big spike in case numbers.

...look to Italy. One week after it hit 320 cases, the country reported 2,036; a week later, nearly 10,000; next week that number will likely rise to 50,000 or more.’
