Could They Not Be Used

[teacake44]

With all the empty schools now and Government using hotels for beds and so on, could they not make use of schools that already have the services, electric, heating, water, toilets kitchens and so forth. The schools are in all local areas with doctors surgeries near by, so instead of doing what they had to do in China build places for beds, we already have the empty places. Whats your thoughts?

I think teacake is basing the suggestion on schools being empty rather than sharing. No-one would suggest sharing surely.

[fiction-factory]

Maybe. I can't see pupils being reallocated to other schools in the short term to free up school buildings

[Prudie]

Neither can I.

13.07 I sure I was not suggesting using schools that are still being used for children at the same time, the ones that are closed ( not in use) has they have said they may have to travel a little further to make use of one school in that area apposed to each school only having 10/ 15 in each.

Fill schools with severely ill people. What could possibly go wrong?

[teacake44]

14.37 Your remark is fruitless really, are they not going to fill hotels with sick people so as to treat them all in the same place. May be you think that treating folk outside in tents is the answer like in Italy? the only drawback with that is putting 70/80 year olds out in freezing weather in a tent might just bring their life to an end before one has had a chance to try and treat them, hence the services that are already in place such as schools. Try some positive thoughts instead of negative, unless you yourself have got some thoughts on helping the present situation, I would be interested in reading them.

"Try some positive thoughts instead of negative"
pmsl, good idea there TC, have you thought about following ur own advice?

[teacake44]

^ your remark is also fruitless. @17.11 If you have nothing useful to contribute to my question don't get involved in the post.

[bednobs]

fruitless because you are not going to follow your own advice?
