Wuhan Hospital facility and the unthinking criticism published here and elsewhere The (SARS) hospital in Beijing in 2003 was built in seven days so the construction team is probably attempting to beat that record. Just like the hospital in Beijing, the Wuhan centre will be made out of prefabricated buildings. Someone was talking here about curing the concrete? Really! Come on Chatillion! How long does/did it take to construct military hospitals? Why don't people look at this in precisely that way. It is an emergency facility to house, isolate and treat confirmed, infected people. What else do you suggest when there are perhaps 10,000 infected people, many of them with critical respiratory infections, who need to be isolated from others. SundayJoke claims 'However, one dirty squatted toilet for 2000 sick patients is not enough, so some patients urinate on the floor. ' You are simply absurd to make such a claim, and grossly dishonest! There are portable toilets available everywhere, do you imagine these would not be used in a flash? What was your source for that ridiculous assertion? Another bigot like yourself? This 2000 bed cabin hospital has no medical treatment. Preposterous. But of course limited resources are certainly overwhelmed. The temporary hospital is built to accommodate suitable medical staff and equipment specific to the illness and the need for protection of staff. Someone else, not sure who it was, but they will know, says: I think medical science is nonexistent in China. Check the recent Nobel prizes for medicine. See if Artemisinin rings a bell. How stupid to put all the patients in the same room. As you said, some may have only a cold and now they are guaranteed to contract the disease. Do you imagine that new an critical cases will all be housed with recovering patients, who certainly constitute 80% or more of the patients. These hospitals have separate isolation wards. I suggest a little thought, analytical thinking would help you avoid spouting such nonsense. I am not here writing in praise of China, but the mindless biassed unthinking prejudice expressed in so many articles needs thoughtful reply. Not that I have any hope of convincing the sinophobes and haters amongst you. Go and vote Trump! Get what you deserve! Interestingly, my student in Hankou (twin city of Wuhan) works for WTO - World Toilet Organisation！  老鬼   |

It pays to check sources, and read widely from both sides. Even from SundayJoke we can learn something - how not to be one-eyed and how not to be unbalanced. Even bigotry teaches something if one is open.
