LONDON - Britain’s National Health Service has not been overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic and now has 2,295 spare critical care beds, Health Minister Matt Hancock said on Sunday. “Today marks a sombre day in the impact of this disease as we join the list of countries who have seen more than 10,000 deaths related to coronavirus,” he told a news briefing.

“At the start of this crisis people said that the NHS would be overwhelmed. And we’ve seen the risk of that elsewhere but not here.”

..and how many staff have you got to look after those 2000 odd beds?

But countless people are being left in care homes to die

I knew Boris was greedy but damn, did he have to use that many for his fat ass?

2395 beds available, that should last until Tuesday lunchtime...

Are they within 50km of where they need to be? 100km?

But masses are still dying 🤷‍♀️

Meanwhile British Columbia has over 4000 spare beds on it's own.

this seems bad
