The Nightingale Hospitals being empty were the first red flag something was wrong.

Behind the scenes there was supposed to be two major pathways.

Your usual hospitals, doing typical urgent procedures (not this bulk cancellation bullshit), and opting not to perform non-essential (read: not life threatening) procedures.

Then the COVID-19 care pathway that would have diverted infectious seriously ill COVID-19 patients to other hospitals, namely, Nightingale Hospitals.

The idea being you keep infectious patients with an unknown disease away from vulnerable and uninfected patients and staff in conventional hospitals. Think of Nightingales as 'plague wards' and 'overflow hospitals'.

The zero patient see-through rate meant there was no massive amount of seriously ill patients. And stupidly, those deemed to have COVID-19 were routed to normal, non-Nightingale hospitals anyway. A complete clusterfuck no matter what theory you subscribe to or what measurement for resources you chose.

We all watched the horrors of the fake pandemic on TV 2020, people falling to the ground in china, overrun ICUs in New York, the onslaught of covid in Bergamo, all dying, death everywhere we were told and shown but only on TV. All I could see were people scared of each other and of an invisible virus that was supposed to be lurking in every corner. It was our very own Trueman Show.
