And in South Florida right now: Temporary hospitals are being built... https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/03/19/supplies-arrive-to-build-mobile-hospital-at-fort-lauderdale-executive-airport/ The location is literally 2 blocks from where I work (or at least used to, before we all migrated to work from home) |

I'm skeptical of the efficacy of testing. Say you get tested, then on the way out of the clinic or on your way home you pick up the virus. A day or so later, however long the test results take you are notified that you are negative so you go out and interact with others except you are not actually negative because you picked up the virus after being tested and now you have a false sense of security from the negative test. Perhaps I'm overlooking something though. |
