Oxygen delivery to every bedside in the 16,000 patient rooms constructed to-date by the Corps of Engineers throughout the country is mentioned in today’s daily briefing. That was not initially in the requirements, but was added, and they went back and retrofitted O2 to every bed in the 16 (I think) new emergency hospitals they have built so far. Amazing work!
The Corps of Engineers and our military kicked this thing in the butt. Really amazing performance by them and as a patriotic veteran from a military family I am always looking for any excuse to thank them and give them kudos!
While we did not need all these extra beds (or ventilators), you still have to admire what they did and it helped calm people down knowing the space and capability was there.
What they did in cooperation with private industry should give us all some confidence moving forward if we face something like this again.
