....says the NHS was left totally unprepared for Covid 19. Don't know how to post the link but you'll find it if you look. Must say Im not surprised.

I hope there's a full inquiry once this is over. We did nothing for weeks when it was obvious the number of ventilators will be a key issue. Even since the government realised the need for ventilators it has completely ballsed it up, not responding to contact from manufacturers and refusing to join in an EU procurement scheme seemingly for no reason other than spite and bloody mindedness. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52052694 It all looks to be negligent in the extreme.
There used to be isolation hospitals dotted around the country, but they went along time ago for financial reasons.
