The PM is calling for a national effort for ventilator production. We have received many offers to make ventilators and parts. If you can manufacture, call the BEIS Business Support helpline on 0300 456 3565. A dedicated team to receive your calls will start at 10am tomorrow

Ventilators are no use without trained staff - you do know this?

Oh gosh yes of course we should have had 10000 extra nurses and doctors sitting around in empty virus centres for decades awaiting a once in a generation challenge like this! Damn Tories!

No but the constant underfunding of the NHS hasn't helped has it?

Not relevant! We are going to have 10-50,000 deaths plus over the next 16 weeks or so. Not the time. Need to do all we can to minimise this loss. And in 2024 you can make the point that the Tories killed X number if you really feel the need.

100% relevant. A fully funded NHS with vacancies filled would, hopefully, significantly lower the death rate. Also you've plucked those figures out of nowhere.

It would get overrun even with better funding as can be seen with the healthcare system of wealthy Lombardy in Northern Italy. And this is no time to try to score political points. Stay at home. Protect the weak and yourselves.
