Chicago’s hospitals, however, have simultaneously been planning for a potential darker side to the convention. They’ve been developing plans and practicing for influxes of patients should violence erupt or disaster strike at the convention during this time of political anxiety — a mood exacerbated by the attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

In some ways, preparing for the convention has been like readying for other large events, such as the NASCAR Chicago Street Race, the Chicago Marathon and Lollapalooza, say hospital leaders.

In fact, it’s somewhat of a relief that the DNC is expected to attract far fewer attendees than Lollapalooza, said George DiLeonardi, vice president of security services and emergency management for Northwestern Memorial HealthCare. The DNC is expected to draw about 50,000 people, while Lollapalooza often attracts about 100,000 a day.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Any large gathering in Chicago attracts violent criminals, and the hospitals are preparing for the worst.

Official pronouncement avoids partisan political comment, but no BS about being prepared.

I wonder what the body count will be?

Chaos follows the Democrats wherever they go.

This is a completely different kind of crowd than 1968. Palestinians instead of New York Jews.

Given Chicago, the morgues and cemeteries should prepare for the Demonicrat National Convention.

There will be allies among the "Palestinians", very likely including some New York Jews. The left is a suicide cult, the Jewish left doubly so.

There will also be every other group that wants something. That includes "normal" criminals looking to take advantage of the chaos.

I expect an uptick in robbery of various kinds as well as killings provoked by random dissing, etc.

I’ll bet ammo, pipe bomb fixers and teleprompters are going to be hard to get in Chicongo. Anybody with any sense should stay away from there until after the Timmy and Kamalala Lovefest.

Chicago hospitals prepare for Democratic National Convention

~~~

OH NO NO NO!
WAIT WAIT WAIT!

The precedent has been set in our recent past.

Chicago MUST BE locked down!
A quarantine and distancing must be enforced!

Public safety based on the number of available hospital beds is MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BILL OF RIGHTS and personal liberties.

Two weeks to stop the riots!

The perfect song for this convention is “Disco Inferno” and should be played the whole week.

Very sad that it’s a”given” that a democrat gathering means hospitals need to be extra prepared.

It's Chicago. Something similar for any holiday weekend, though of course it will be even more of a logistical mess for the DNC convention.
