Do you think the patients denied access to cancer treatment that you know full well I'm talking about would have been treated in intensive care units? or, would if have been the none-intensive care parts of the hospitals- you know, the empty bits where the bored nurses were filming their dance routines?

Can you imagine what those 'big boys' would have told the authorities to do back then if they were ordered to wear clothes on their face or stay locked up at home for weeks? Go out, spread it about, nothing stopping you. If you want to act like a 3 year old do it. There are plenty of adults around to pick up the pieces for you.

butlers Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Mmm let me see, they likely would have listened and thought that's entirely reasonable to protect myself and my family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete lack of pandemics then - although some of the "big boys" would run a mile from gays because of HIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem logical and if course it's only in last couple of months the testing has come anywhere near what's required No, the COVID patients would mainly be in intensive care- most of the rest of the hospitals were empty. 1 minute ago, Dardandec said: Go out, spread it about, nothing stopping you.

Intensive Care was running at over capacity in most acute hospitals and staff were drafted in from other departments to help - although a shortage of ITU nurses was the limiting factor - which is why the Nightingale hospitals were hardly utilised. One you tube is not evidence of the whole NHS. Edited September 27, 2020 by Longcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
