RD.Have a look at who wrote that piece and ask if you really want to be circulating articles by a Kitson like Paul Joseph Watson.

In mine and your circles, bpool, this is something absolutely new and unprecedented. In the circles of epidemiologists, virologists and health officials of all descriptions, this is not something unexpected or something that couldn't have been planned for and invested in.
Latest news is the NHS is effectively taking over all independent hospitals for the duration. It will increase capacity by an extra 8,000 beds and 1,200 more ventilators.That's a very good move.

I would be quite happy if all those private hospitals were amalgamated into the NHS when all this finally begins to subside.
While your probably right I still don’t think you could be prepared for something like this no matter what the investment

This should be required reading for everyone in the world https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56It's by an engineer rather than an epidemiologist, but he understands the concepts.It starts of in the most terrifying apocalyptic terms. Which we need to hear. Because we have just days and weeks to stop this becoming a catastrophe.But it ends with rays of hope. We CAN survive this. We CAN do so without losing too many loved ones or suffering unacceptable economic damage. But we need to act. Now. And be a lot smarter in our response.Read it. It is vitally important that we all take this on board.
