they are given the standard meds....this is a medical floor so they are not needing vents....all of them have previous chronic health issues....

I think they admit covid as they have open beds...iows...you might just go home to get better if the hospital is full....

I guess the Brits are guinea pigs for the vaccine

‘V-Day’: UK prepares to administer first doses of Covid-19 vaccine

"Last week, the U.K. became the first country to authorise the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine for emergency use. In trials, the vaccine was shown to have around 95% efficacy."

"Vaccinations will be administered starting Tuesday at around 50 hospital hubs in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will also begin their vaccination rollouts the same day."

"Governments and health agencies around the world will be monitoring the British vaccination program, which will take months, to note its successes and failures and adjust their own plans accordingly."

Are hospitals still paid extra if the admitting diagnosis is Covid? That would be a big incentive.
