Ninewells is on its arse between lack of staff due to illness, holidays and isolating, lack of a sufficient number of beds because winter illnesses are just beginning to creep in, and medication (specifically saline and other fluids) is getting hard to come by because they are shipped in from the EU and there are shortages/holdups due to Brexit. The only good news is that there’s no one in the main Covid HDU at time of writing.
