A legitimate potus and senate majority would be turning empty shopping malls into cv clinics now

The country is full of them: Localities built them to tempt dollars away from other malls, and then brick and mortar stores became passe.

If we were really the "greatest country in the world" we'd be snagging them and sending health administrators and real estate developers in to fit them with medical equipment and necessary plumbing, electricity and access to resources like oxygen and security/sanitation supplies.

We'd have the best military minds advise how they establish instant medical units in war zones and do it near major cities.

But our government fired everyone who would have the expertise, and it wouldn't make the senate rich enough, so, here we sit, waiting to massacre our hospitals.

We'd be training new medical support techs, getting makeshift ambulances ready, training drivers, sanitation workers, hospital cooks, the list goes on and on.

But it's easier to sit at home a tweet that this is all Obama's fault.

1. I was thinking today about all of the rural hospitals that have had to close

in recent years. If they are-still standing, they can re-open to handle some of the overflow when this escalates. I do realize that they may be too distant from areas of greatest impact.

2. If nothing else turning the parking garages

and lots into drive through testing centers.

3. I love it when people answer their own questions.

4. Worthwhile to consider

Seems China could build a hospital in 10 days when they got serious about this. No reason we couldn’t do the same.

5. Great idea

6. Also if hotels shutter, use them to quarantine people.

And that way the hotels continue to get revenue so they can reopen when this is over.
