I do not know how to nurse the mentally ill and wouldn’t know where to start, what is the relevance of your question?

Any country that cannot provide enough healthcare workers for its own system is itself sick. Or rather, it is disenfranchising its own for lower cost. A British nurse is highly likely to spend their money here. Not send it out of the country. The NHS was not designed as an income stream for Asian countries...or indeed any other country. If the education within these countries is good, then that expertise should be improving themselves.....not participating in a brain drain. Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Apr 2020 10.26pm)

I repeat the origin of the Spanish flu is uncertain. Anyone suggesting certainty on its origin speaks with no scientific consensus and is spreading disinformation. Here's an article from the National Geographic that suggests the origins for this flu as maybe coming from China, which then muated. However, they also state that it's unlikely that we will ever know. That is the correct information, we don't know for sure where the Spanish flu originated from. Absolutely nothing wrong with speculation, but suggesting certainty isn't correct. Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Apr 2020 10.19pm) That predates the most current analysis by 4 years. Still, trust the National Geographic From 2014 OR Evolution, Medicine and PublicHealth from 2019. You decide.

And your solution is?

Here is the current Wikipedia link for Spanish flu. You will see, that it says its origin is disputed. It offers three locations as possible origins. If you are suggesting that there is a consensus on the US....and the word consensus is important.... and that this is out of date, then link me and I can educate myself. Otherwise you are waffling.

The NHS is short of 40,000 nurses with RMNs and RNLDs proportionately in the worst shortage. So how do I manage a business nursing the mentally ill without nurses? Yet you criticise me for looking overseas. So what answer do you have? Maybe give a £5k bursary a year to people spending over £15k a year on their studies. If that works we may see a dribble more nurses on the market in four years time. I have no idea how long it will take to produce 40,000 over and above attrition rates but at the moment we are going backwards. We lost an aggregate 6,000 RMNs in the past 10 years

I have little doubt the solutions have all been thought of....It's all a matter of will.

Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Apr 2020 10.32pm) Even in your own link your hypothesis is debunked. In summary it is likely the flu had a North American origin. Science is rarely absolute but I have seen no credible dispute of the 2018 work
