Nightingale hospital

On 24 March, the government announced it would turn the ExCeL Centre in London's Docklands area into a temporary hospital to cope with patients affected by Covid-19.

Two more temporary hospitals are to be built, in Birmingham and Manchester, and NHS England said other sites were being considered across the UK.

Fantastic effort by the army, and volunteers to get that done.. I really hope its never filled.

Hope it's a "just in case", rather than.. Well, we know the disaster.

We all did.
When China built 2 new hospitals in 5 days we all knew the severity of the situation.

Even though their figures don't quite add up.

Still don't and probably won't.
I bet there's some mass graves over there.

Absolutely appalling. It's an affront to their dead if they're messing with the true figures.
