"The NHS is coping, it wasn't in such bad shape as people thought" This has become the right wing mantra.
Yes it's coping - because the NHS cancelled procedures & freed up 33K beds, hospitals are running at 40% capacity.

2. There are 16.5K covid patients & up to now 4 Nightingales open. Why can't covid patients be transferred to these & free up more hospitals to treat all other cases, dependent on staffing? People will die from lack of treatment, cancers will go undiagnosed - where is the plan?
