Clemson note in quick-build China hospitals


Jan 29, 2020, 3:50 PM

China building hospitals in a week to combat the coronavirus. Includes a note for Clemson Architecture Program:

--------------------------

Pre-fab or “modular construction” has also been used in emergency scenarios in other parts of the world, adds Rawlings. The US Department of Defense, for example, can quickly erect field hospitals for emergency diagnosis and treatment, almost anywhere. Students at Clemson University’s Architecture + Health Program are testing the viability of using shipping containers, chained together, to assemble a rapid-response medical facility, he explains. “The technology exists and is being used,” Rawlings says. “Its advancement is probably the future of rapidly deployable healthcare.”

I thought the same thing. I think that was just a publicity stunt. It's more or less just a temporary structure than a real concrete and steel building. No way you can be productive with that much equipment in each others way.

Prolly covering up a mass grave, China won’t admit they have a really bad issue until the last possible moment when they realize they can’t control it or media coverage of it and then they’ll blame it on some other country or something.
