Coronavirus patients might SHARE ventilators as NHS prepares for ‘tsunami’ of cases in London
"They talk about wave after wave after wave. The words that are used to me are that it’s a continuous tsunami.
It's not been given the go-ahead in the UK yet, but with the country facing a shortage of ventilators and critical care units reaching saturation point, the health service has said it's something it would consider. "We would say we expect thousands of those to arrive in the coming weeks and thousands more in the pipeline to arrive in the coming months," he told a Westminster briefing.
The PM's spokesman said: "Well, we are no longer members of the EU," when asked why the UK was not utilising the scheme, and pointed towards other efforts to secure ventilators.
