Remember those pop-up covid hospital in China?

[Creeping Incrementalism]

As was the "reefers full of corpses" nonsense.

There were reefers full of bodies L.A. My uncle serviced some kind of old frozen food factory/warehouse or something like that. He showed pictures of cardboard coffins on tall racks like a Costco.

But the reason the bodies built up is the crematoriums having no extra capacity due to environmental air quality limits as to how much they can burn. In an efficiently run economy with artificial, government-induced caps, it doesn't take much to have reefers full of bodies.

As a Tok-Tok nurse, I find this thread highly offensive and full of misinformation. Mods, please lock this thread.

the ships were always a bad idea for treating an infectious disease. A big floating petri dish?

The ships were never supposed to be used for Covid patients, but other people needing treatment, allowing for the hospitals to concentrate in Covid and prevent uninfected people from having to go to a hospital full of sick people.

But, yep, all hype. They were never used.
Now let's talk about the $10 million in PPE that was destroyed by mismanagement.
What a fiasco...

that was my point. Even that was a bad plan, since the ship inevitably would become infected too. It never would have worked, and our brilliant government, once they got the good optics out of it, immediately put the ships away because they knew it. It was all for show.

And nurses committing suicide because they were so overwhelmed. What a f---ing joke and everyone bought it.

My daughter and three of her RN buddies from work all moved into my Texas house, we were in Calif at the time, to prevent possibly infecting their families. This was at the beginning of Covid. Within two or three weeks they went home and basically said "it's no big deal"
