      I wonder if this was part of the motivation for building new hospitals in Wuhan — not merely the extra capacity, but the separation.

          (1/x) Large swaths of USA now adopting extensive lockdown orders paralleling those in Wuhan. But Wuhan's response had another crucial element: central quarantine. Read this for a crazy, only-in-New York idea for how to break the epidemic. Perhaps useful for others too.

          Rather forced isolation of mild cases. They weren't really hospitals, but isolation quarters.

          building a new hospital to stop the transmission completely makes sense.

          They were used to isolate mild cases from their families and neighbors.

          Similar to the motivation of bringing the USS Comfort to NYC, no?

          I talked to colleagues in Hong Kong today. Same. Not sure we could ever do that here, or if we would want to.

          Meaning the separation, or rapidly adding new hospital capacity? Both are happening to a degree in various western cities, just with a slightly different and less severe pattern. E.g. convention centre hospitals used to divert non-Covid patients from Covid-beleaguered hospitals.

          Without a doubt - my family is full of doctors and when this began the first thing they said is don’t get sick or injured because we will not take you to the hospital. Further, some aren’t even staying at home because they don’t want to risk transmission to the family

          This is what it takes to intubate patients. I doubt many hospitals are anywhere near this carefulhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iEYbsS_hbec&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1d0lT-T6tPsfqF_WZUyrRSQrn6vDzjnsB92I5VRkbvZFQDVnHnE1vCuL0 …
