There is a big one in Sowton mate, I dont think they ever used West Point but the one in Sowton is fully operational. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Loads off in the RD&E mate, I think a third off out of 8000 member of staff through covid Said loads my best mates wife is a nurse, worked the covid ward, she's been a nurse since school and we've been friends that long....she was really scared at how quickly people were getting seriously ill, all ages, they did not all die (obviously) but ill take her word for it when she told me you do not want to catch it, it shook her up, and she has seen alot in over 25 years of nursing.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at news and ambulances being used to hold patients as London hospitals at full capacity, think the nightingales are going to go online again very soon... The London one was in the excel I think? Massive area, have they increased the main hospital facilities up there? Link to post Share on other sites

I recon they were built because no one not even the government knew how severe this virus would be..and maybe the various lockdowns and rules etc.have helped to reduce covid cases.. Even if they haven't been used.it is a good thing that they were built just in case surely.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
