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.
I was indirectly involved in discussions on the Nightingales. They were meant to be overflow wards. If you saw the bullshit videos that came out of China that revealed overcrowded hospitals, people falling over (most likely, in hindsight, staged bullshit), the fear within the NHS was we'd get this super-flu where everyone would be crippled and it would rapidly spread to millions of people.
It wasn't helped by the fact bullshit models by Ferguson et al falsely claimed absurdly high numbers. The NHS back then was completely overstretched, the ideas of a million ill collapsing hospitals drove some radical decision making. Instead of only stopping non-essential procedures, they basically stopped even essential procedures except cancer patients who were already basically dying, which wasn't the original proposal.
I genuinely think a large chunk of UK gov believed there was a super-spreader virus coming to get everybody. But their risk modelling only showed death risks for 65+, not the majority of the public! Reason went out the window! We went from 'we don't need social distancing, we have masks' to a literally made-up bullshit figure of 6ft. Sneeze particles travel up to 20 metres, so how the fuck was 6ft going to do anything?
I think if you looked carefully, you had a tiny chunk of government manipulators, and a large chunk of gullible morons who thought this was crisis levels trying to implement what they thought was best... based on bullshit fucking models and fabricated evidence coming out of China and Italy. I actually supported the Nightingale proposals at one point, but it turned out those "people" in ICU in Italy were fucking mannequins. A fucking scam man.
''think if you looked carefully, you had a tiny chunk of government manipulators, and a large chunk of gullible morons who thought this was crisis levels trying to implement what they thought was best...''
I don't think they were meant for anything other than a part of the psy-op...to convince the public it must be 'serious' because extra hospital space was having to be constructed, like the mandating of masks on 24th July 2020 to convince people it must be 'serious' because masks defended against the 'invisible (risible) virus. The psy ops supported by the mandated testing.
It was obvious that images of falling Orientals in streets were to build the picture of a 'serious' virus on the loose. A cruel psy op from start to finish, destined to last 2 complete years ( March 2020-March 2022) as every Local Authority had a 'pandemic plan' on their websites for that length of time.
As BP has pointed out, the elderly, care home residents, people with mental health issues bore the brunt ( many still are). Many of that age cohort are a key part of the fabric of society ( or should be) but were treated like inconsequential beings.
I don't think a large chunk of the UK government believed there was a deadly virus about to fell the population ( everyone at risk!), they were all on message. They knew the intent. They knew it was more like flu....Happy they were to gather together in Dec 2020 inside No10. The Backbenchers in both Parties might have swallowed the psy ops...if the 'ordinary man' in the street could suss it out as it was all orchestrated in Feb/ March 2020, why couldn't a few of them raise an objection? Moral cowards who apparently act as servants of the people! [A bit long reply there.]
Ask yourself this - if the Nightingale hospitals were intentionally meant to mislead (I.E. a psyop), why didn't they fabricate any patient numbers? Why didn't they shuffle the numerous 'COVID-19 positive' people into Nightingale hospitals? Even Italy had fucking mannequins in their ICU clips and yet Nightingale's were empty.
I think you'll find the UK gov wanted to peddle scaremongering, but got caught with their pants down when people started demanding overflow hospitals based on that scaremongering. How could the manipulators lie to the ones demanding overflow hospitals that they didn't need them if they were trying to also sell this was going to be a big, major virus?
Notice no other government implemented *any* overflow hospitals. The closest was the US with that *one* hospital ship that ultimately *didn't do anything*.
As a dentist of 35 years I had to undertake hours of study every year about cross-infection control and of course this involved masks,PPE etc. I knew it was all a lot of tosh as soon as they brought in mandatory paper masks,which we were taught are only effective against moisture for 15 minutes and purely for protection of the wearer against blood,bone and bits of tooth. What was incredible to me is how many of my fellow dentists, let alone doctors ( who have not as much training in cross infection control as dentists) went along with the farce without question. Indeed it lead to arguments and I had to cease discussion with old dental/medical friends ( including consultants and professors)for fear of losing them.
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.
My aunt was one of only 46 patients ever admitted to the Dragon Heart hospital here in Wales. It was only ever utilised for patients who needed rehabilitation (as she did) or for palliative care.
She came out - aged 88 - saying, “I think they’re exaggerating it. I saw hundreds of empty beds”. These are genuinely her words, not mine. She observed these beds when she would be taken by wheelchair to sit outside if it was a nice afternoon.
The week of her discharge, a 99 year old patient was discharged, but the fact that such elderly patients were being discharged - good news, surely? - was never reported in the media.
I think it was pretty well documented at the time that these hospitals were erected at great expense and all of them were virtually unused.
Like the PPE and mask contracts, this was an exercise in money laundering and fraud.
The one down by the Clyde at the SEC, the NHS Louisa Jordan, did not treat a single Covid patient. Instead, it was used for orthopaedic and plastic surgery outpatient consultations, with around 400 patients receiving treatment.
Costs and decommissioning in excess of £67 million. Nice work if you can get it.
At the risk of being controversial. I could point out that if all elective surgery is cancelled, maybe ICU use will drop, simply because so many operations go wrong - and if nobody can travel to work, then RTAs will fall.
There is some evidence that deaths fall during doctors strikes, too ;-)

I've often wondered did they have a sinister purpose but it was shelved?

Bit of a tangent but Northwick Park Hospital has some history and here it is again.
Do you count Chris Whitty, CMO as one of the gullible morons? Or was he aware that a massive ' emperor's new clothes' was taking place?
Chris Whitty I believe was in on the scam.
I don't recall the specifics, but there was something about his having some financial conflict of interest. Some examples:

I will never forget or forgive Whitty
The 'cloth masks' should have given anybody pause for thought, even if they thought the other masks worked.
Very few raised an eyebrow. Terrifying how much compliance the public will do with tyranny. Surrounded by snitches and compliant people.
