It's a loving flu, we'll get through it and some grannies will die and a few nurses will quit their NHS jobs in favour of the much less stressful cosmetic procedure industry. Life goes on whoop de doo.

Pretty lousy finance director if he wouldn't veto in the case of a revenue boost. Take the money, you fool!

But in all seriousness the case which needs to be made is that the losses will be greater when everyone is at home sick, not working, compared with the scenario they're voting on where everyone's at home working.

No he said this won't happen. He's heard that it's an estimated 20% of the workforce over a six month period which is only a couple of people a week. I started to correct his understanding of those figures and he said (in front of the full management team) "LOOK IF YOU WANT TO WORK FROM HOME SO BADLY WE CAN ARRANGE THAT AND PROBABLY HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IMPACT THAT HAS ON YOUR REMUNERATION AT THE SAME TIME" so I dropped it and the discussion ended. He's definitely a person who knows above all else that number must go up, and he has had the opportunity to learn that consequences are something that happens to other people, not him.
Looks like he gets to test his theory.

"It's quite clear that, in the face of these difficult challenges, those who can afford healthcare must be asked to pay their share. Over the coming weeks we will be vastly increasing hospital capacity with the construction of new hospitals made available to those who are able to contribute. This will liberate the existing healthcare infrastructure for NHS patients, and be a better situation for everyone."

The Tories are banking on the public having a more catastrophic view of how this will unfold than what actually unfolds. Then they can say "see, the so called experts will have taken you out of your jobs and cost us all a lot of money for nothing."

Nothing is inherently necessary of itself. The suggestion of necessity begs the question,

what condition would it be "absolutely necessary" for?

It's not necessary that I get out of bed, but it is necessary to do so in order to not piss my sheets.

There's a huge blank left here that they're hoping we somehow just fill. These measures won't be used unless absolutely necessary for what?

Just having to persuade a friend that deliberately getting infected with coronavirus "to get it over with" is probably not a great strategy.

If you're looking purely at the individual and not trying to convince them in terms of how it impacts others: it's worth waiting to get confirmation one way or the other as to whether someone can be reinfected with the disease. I think it's important science worth waiting for if you're considering the chicken pox strategy.

Mum's a nurse. She got a survey that pretended to be about training needs. It asked which areas of nursing she felt confident practicing in. The survey's veil tore down at the point where each question corresponded exactly to each of the major wards in the county's largest hospital.

Respiratory health, orthapedics, cardiovascular health, etc

There's highway patrols with land rovers that have amber lights. They have powers to direct and stop traffic including pulling you over. Their job is to prevent the big stream of traffic going at 70 ish all day from piling up into itself.

Just get the army out tbh. The optics will be bad but they know how to run a hospital from a tent and already have experience in firefighting from the protests in the 00s.

Also they can teach you how to wipe with just one square of toilet paper.

Mental health nurses can do a lot of ordinary nursing practice, although they'll be limited by their training. In these circumstances they might be looking at merging the capacity of physical and mental health practice where possible.

I suppose there's no reason why you couldn't work in the early stages of a zombie apocalypse, so it might be better, and the government might invest in expanding the armed services as well as the factories needed to supply it. I think a mild zombie apocalypse might actually be a very opportune time for survivors.
