Bristol’s Nightingale hospital was opened today.
Are these big 'field' hospitals full or close to capacity? I've not followed but I read a while back that the London one couldn't even be staffed fully as there's not enough (EU?) nurses.

Nope, nowhere near. I think the london one has treated circa 50 people*. I think the plan now (and they may claim the plan all along) is that eventually all CV cases will be dealt with in the field hospitals, eventually allowing normal hospitals to get back to business as usual.

I except they’re build and designed, along with the staffing levels, to be reactive. The first patients will be there to test it I guess.

Had the hospitalisation count kept climbing it would have been finished too late to be most useful. Did we dodge a bullet?
