You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t... It could have been a sh*tstorm of a disaster if they hadn’t put the facility in place, better to have excess beds than insufficient and people dropping like flies. My view is thank God it wasn’t needed and thank God it was available.
Seconded wholeheartedly. I am getting sick of "experts" who, with the benefit of hindsight seem to spend their whole time saying what the authorities should or should not have done

They also announced that Headley Court in Surrey, a Ministry of Defence rehabilitation facility during the Iraq war, would become the first NHS Seacole centre. It will provide temporary rehabilitation for patients recovering from Covid-19 as well as those who have been in hospital for routine treatment........
On a lighter note. Overheard during a physio session at Headley Court

"Come on sir, more effort - get those knees up"
"I'm sorry corporal, I'm a little stiff from rugby"
"I dont care where you come from sir - get those knees up"!
