      This is the WSJ, and I’m just one guy who happens to be able to read Japanese, so weight appropriately, but the consensus of experts is we’re at the brink of losing the capability to do emergency medicine over approximately half of the country.https://twitter.com/rcrsv/status/1254835430828044289 …

      You keep saying this, but didn’t NYC and Wuhan both build hospitals in about a week? I keep thinking that the main issue is just protocol. Ie initially Japanese protocol was hospital isolation room for every positive test, I believe Tokyo has started to change that.

      Your understanding of this matter does not comport with the available statistics with respect to utilization or the grave concern expressed by Japan's medical establishment, which is capable of answering the question "Can we create a hospital of functioning capacity in a week?"

          Sadly circumstances find me playing salaryman speed chess on Twitter in English such that I don't end up losing a much higher-stakes game of salaryman chess in a future forum neither specifically known nor necessarily convenient to me.

          It's a little like listening to an alien language, half-translated. I sometimes think I'm grasping meaning, but i suspect I don't know enough of what it's like to grow up in your world.

          “If you were right that building temporary hospitals would easily solve Japan’s hospital capacity problems, we wouldn’t see Tokyo ERs turning away patients, or medical experts (who know better than you) worried that the healthcare system is on the brink. So you’re wrong.” https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1254848422361755648 …
