Field hospitals are usually set up at battle fields during war time. This is a war and it is the unvaxxed and anti vaxxers who are traitors and causing casualties. We know what needs to happen to them

What happened to all those nice nightingale hospitals? Or indeed the 40 ‘new’ hospitals Boris promised?

Bullshit.

Another nightingale, they will take 3 months to set it up and then shut it all down in a week

Staffed by robots

If these are like the Nightingale hospitals, there will be no-one to stay them

We got rid of the nightingales and wasted how many millions…. Let’s throw more money needlessly at covid. 129 in hospital with omicron. Talk about knee jerk reaction.

Erm...nightingale hospitals?

Really?!! Talk about scaremongering! What a load of rubbish!

Really, whatever happened to the Excel Centre type hospitals they build out to cope with the extra demand? I heard they didn't need those field hospitals in the end, because the demand never got anywhere near what the (FUDsters = GOV) said it would get to. Jokers! 🤡🃏

Yeah because it worked so well with NHS Nightingale and all those COVID other mega-hospitals 🤦🏻‍♀️
