Why has the UK have built up over 40,000 new field hospital beds, that cost the tax payer billions, yet to date none of them are being used? Shouldnt these hospitals be used as covid quarantine hospitals to keep the covid out of our main hospitals?

This would surely help protect patients NHS staff and nurses from catching it in the main hospitals too. Thus allowing more of the other hospital procedures and operations to continue. There is also the issue of 1 million plus unused volunteers who offered help. Surely they too could be utilised in some ways? transportation, cleaning cooking etc

It must feel like playing russian roulette for hospital staff atm knowing the covid is rife throught the hospitals. This would give them peace of mind knowing the covid is elsewhere and will reduce the amount of staff on self isolation and sickness

This is one way China defeated the virus.
Why arent we doing the same?
