A deployed field hospital is probably better set up to provide medical care than a middle school classroom or a half empty office building (that shares an HVAC system with other tenants).
The voice of reason.
I would add that any building used for China virus treatment will need thorough sterilization ($$) afterward. If (say) a hotel was used for that purpose, it’s likely that their business would take a huge hit ($$$) for several months to come afterward — regardless of whether or not the building is actually totally disease-free*. Hospitals are designed to allow for sterilization — the materials used in hotels aren’t the same.
I’m aware that the virus has a limited ‘life’ on surfaces — but, public perception will matter more.
(that shares an HVAC system with other tenants).
ABSOLUTELY!! Some of these ‘journalist’ on both sides are just plain dumb.
Plus, trying to move that empty office building in Cleveland to NYC where it is needed...
