During the 1918 pandemic they turned schools and warehouses into hospital wards.

There was a shortage of doctors so medical students stepped in to help take care of the sick. We have been through this before. Why the federal government, Trump, is not getting the country ready for the many sick people that will need help soon, is in my opinion negligent homicide.

They might need that large covered area for this. Their timing couldn't have been worse!

2. Back in 1918 we didn't even have penicillin and

were both used to infectious diseases being spread and had no independent ventilators or air systems and limited medical equipment.

Put a bunch of people in a room and send a nurse with no hazard gear to collect bedpans and distribute food and take temperatures and you're nearly at state of the art. Viruses were suspected to be something non-bacterial only in the early 1890s, and viruses only really isolated years after the 1918 flu. At the time, in fact, it made no difference for treatment--bacteria, virus, whatever. There was nothing but palliative care.

We could do that now, but such a hospital ward would have the same effect as introducing covid-19 into a penitentiary or immigrant detention center and would be considered gross malpractice.

Spacing the patients out in a parking lot with a tarp over them is better--at least there's greater airflow.
