My son-in-law told me about this the other day, but I was sworn to secrecy until it was official.
The NEC in Birmingham is being transformed into an emergency hospital with thousands of beds, as is a big site in Manchester. Since London is the epicentre of the outbreak, the RAF will be used to ferry sick patients out of the capital to the NEC via Birmingham airport.
There will be three emergency hospitals with military involvement - the Excel Centre, the NEC and the Manchester site.
People are whinging all the time about the government, but behind the scenes they are acting fast - the orders for ventilators from the likes of Dyson and other manufacturers are for these emergency hospitals.
