Could We Not Start Using

[johnny.5]

holiday camps like butlins and pontins as better medical isolation centres ?

[Denton]

You have obviously never been to Butlins or Pontins.!!

[Peter Pedant]

than where

serious questions require proper english like you know
main verbs and so on

because caravan parks arent hospitals
springs to mind

[Peter Pedant]

can we have less flippancy Denton
do you come from Denton
this is a serious site with serious questions

[johnny.5]

these are individual living pods which could be used to help isolation and medical staff could be on site for emergencies

[johnny.5]

not all covid 19 positive tests require hospitalisation but they could be easily isolated in these pods

[albaqwerty]

From where do you want to take those medical staff?

[Peter Pedant]

// not all covid 19 positive tests require hospitalisation but they could be easily isolated in these pods//

no you need to get your yayas straight
if cases dont need hospital then why admit to a caravan park
as isolation is efficient at home

and having a few medical staff wandering around all the pods in the caravan park is worse than useless as they cant tell diddly squat without going in

I suspect this is happening in Italy - they get admitted and no one goes near them - so they die in the corridors etc

[johnny.5]

maybe just me but if i was diagnosed i would want to self isolate as far away from my loved ones as possible

Only if Gladys Pugh is my very own personal night nurse.

[Peter Pedant]

yes no
you lock yourself in your bedroom
if they are gonna get it - it is likely they are already infected

BUT - a. children get it and dont show it but do infect others and never die ( ok one in 80 000)

each pt infects two to three others - which is peanuts
kust dont go near old people

Butlins Ayr was originally a POW Camp.

[Spicerack]

Not a bad idea, johnny. It may come to something like that but it smacks of concentration camps.
The US CDC Pandemic rules include forced vaccinations, forced removal to isolation camps and the suspension of democracy.
Who knows what's 'in the pipeline'.

I think there is some merit in your suggestion Johnny, but staffing/equipping could be an issue. Requisitioned large hotels very near hospitals might be a better alternative.
