Duzzy Funlop posted:Remember that report about China planning to speed-build a couple of hospitals to deal with the current outbreak? If you throw enough man-hours at it, almost anything is possible. From the images, it is entirely lightweight prefab style construction, which is to say that if anything worse than a mild rainstorm hits that building, it's going to be rather unpleasant, and possibly dangerous. The point is to increase capacity for triage and isolation for the current outbreak. Anything not related can go to the already existing hospital. Here in the US, they put MRIs in mobile trailers and haul them around the country to hospitals who don't have them. No different here, just fewer wheels.

Yeah. Smaller hospitals may not have all the big dollar equipment so some stuff gets hauled around between them for checks that aren't critical. I forget what it was but we had a mobile lab at our hospital a few weeks ago.

There are a lot of things to criticize about the CCP's reaction to this outbreak. Building temporary facilities overnight should be at the bottom of your list. If they're still using those "Hospitals" a few years from now, then fire away. But for now they need the clinic space. Here in the US we'd be converting sports stadiums or erecting large tent cities. One of the few advantages of authoritarian governments is the ability to mobilize large projects like this quickly. EDIT: those construction workers would otherwise be occupied building lovely "luxury" housing that never gets occupied. Probably the most useful project they've worked on in years.

Wouldn't a sports stadium be way better because you don't have to burn down and bulldoze the structure after?

Does the US army just bulldoze and destroy its field hospitals when they’re done? Wait maybe I don’t want to know the answer to that one

Wow, Bernie getting after it. Really look forward to whether the DNC tries to sabotage him at the convention or if they tank him during the general. Whether he's the nominee or not it's going to be really rad getting told for years how this is all our fault because we didn't support centrist Dem candidates and wanted things like "not to go into bankruptcy for a broken arm" or "not to be debt slaves"

MRC48B posted:If you throw enough man-hours at it, almost anything is possible. I'm not denying how impressive the logistical effort of that undertaking is, I'm in fact pretty drat impressed by it, the issue is just that, right now, they need procedure and capacity tailored to a specific purpose, not a couple of extra all-purpose instant-hospitals that barely contribute on the scale that currently matters, and will probably be obsolete/derelict/demolished after this outbreak is over. It's an impressive prestige project that a country like China can easily make happen, and will earn global brownie points for, but outside of that, it's really just a marketing stunt. The whole MRI as a cherry on top of the dog-and-pony show for me is that a friend of mine works in that very division at Siemens, and had a healthy laugh at that specific picture.

facialimpediment posted:https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/1224088942519164929 That's tweet isn't too shocking. It doesn't say that they'll vote for Trump if their preferred candidate doesn't win the nominee, just that they are only interested in one candidate or it depends on who the nominee is. And based off the earlier graph with Biden having 1% of the 18-34 crowd, I could believe a large percentage of that age bracket just wouldn't care to vote if he won the primary.

If they don't nominate Sanders or proceed to gently caress him over during the campaign we are going to see the party just murder itself trying to eliminate any and all non-centrists and totally hand it over to the GOP to gently caress us in to oblivion. We will be told this is all millenials faults for not being more responsible about health savings accounts

Better than every other candidate in fact? edit: looked at a bunch and it looks like Biden is a little stronger in the general* than Sanders but Warren is consistently even lower. The only way Warren is getting in the white house is as Sanders VP. *according to the polling at this time. my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Hey all , Is there any upside at all to being one of those saps that gets put on camera standing at attention at stupid dark thirty at el adid [sp] or similar for a glamor shot on National TV during the super bowl’s National Anthem? Like do you get a nice snack spread with the TV people or something? Or do they all just get this to deal with on top of regular duty stuff?

fresh_cheese posted:Hey all , When I was a recruiter in Cleveland in 07 or 08, we had to do the flag ceremony for the Cavs/Pistons playoff game. I brought a bunch of poolees in their USMC shirts and reservists in their Dress Blues. Before the game they had a giant room full of catered and stadium food and probably half the of Cavs came over and gave all the kids autographs and pictures and stuff. Charles Barkley and one of the other commentators came in too and spent 15 minutes or so talking basketball with everyone. After the ceremony, everyone got seats to watch the game (not great seats but it was the playoffs). I'd imagine something like that is a pretty standard setup.

So I found a thing the other day. It's a british economist lecturing about, well, how boomers are still stealing all the wealth from everyone else and he brings graphs and facts. The thing is... it's Lord David Willets, who was a conservative MP and in Thatcher's government in the 80s. He's a boomer as well. It's a good video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuXzvjBYW8A

Here's your regular reminder that Biden and probably Warren won't act fast enough or meaningfully enough on climate change or dealing with the more toxic elements of late stage capitalism to even have a chance at turning the ship around before it all collapses into Fury Road. I guess things will be a bit less racist in the lead up though? Either way, my country is on fire, and our idiot opposition party won't adopt a progressive agenda because they think it lost them the last election (it didn't), so let's put this third way poo poo to bed, set a good example for the rest of the idiot west, and either start taking some power structures apart, or have us a good old constitutional crisis already.
