Some hospitals are doing this. Built air conditioned tents outside ER for triage.

Could you imagine if one fell? Lawyers would feast.

Mawmaw was a little girl during the Spanish Flu of 1918. She said once a day a truck would drive through the neighborhood and anyone that was sick got placed on the truck and taken to a gym setup with beds as a medical ward.

If you recovered they put you back on a truck and sent back home.

You went alone. No family and no visitors. She was one of the lucky that got to ride the truck home.

In NYC, they've been converting city buildings into makeshift hospitals for over a week by now.

Those weren’t hospitals. They were morgues.

And you know for sure they built all those hospitals? I mean it was reported so by the Chinese Media, so it must be true right?

We could, if we wanted to distract the world from a severe shortage of doctors and nurses partly due to a ridiculous obsession with meaningless construction projects.

To be clear, that hospital didn't do shite for Wuhan because there wasn't a ready medical staff - or the proper equipment.

US is utilizing large Navy medical vessels to take some of the patients out of the local hospitals in New York and California. Frees up beds for Corona patients in the land based hospitals. Guess a different and more expedient way to handle the issue.

I guarantee you that the 4 Mexican guys that are doing my roof right now could have one up in a week. Blows me away how hard they work.
