That'll be well-built!

I hope they get the whole process recorded would love to see that. It is supposed to be built in 6 days. The video above was originally posted 3 days ago. It have to be 1/2 completed by now. One of the MANY major problems is that concrete does not reach full strength for about 14 days.

I've got a VHS tape of a 5-600 man crew building a house in four hours - from bare dirt to sodded yard and painted inside and out. Video was used in the '90s to encourage corporate cross-functional teams and parallel processes - it's probably on Youtube now.

Cool! That's it! In original VHS quality!

Isn't it pretty stupid to build it right next to a WATERWAY?

I could see this working easily. If the containers are all standardized in size, and they have teams on hand to hook up each one as it is put into place (I'm assuming that they are pre-wired and set for utilities at the factories), then the hospital could be set up as fast as the containers can be placed. Coordination via computer would allow for construction of several areas of the hospital simultaneously.

Have you seen the contractor's video posted yesterday? It's a prison; small double doors to pass in food; no inside door handles on the cells.

It would be easy to prewire, and have some plumbing connections. BUT what about HVAC, I see no air moving equipment, no ducts etc. Of course that may spread the virus, BUT, it also provides fresh air to the "patients". Sure is not a place I want to be, even if I was not sick!!

I am sure glad I am not living there. but then, things might get that bad here in the USA if our healthcare system ends up in the hands of the gov, like china's is.

You have contaminated people who don't want to be there and we don't know what these modules were built for originally. Seems they were ready-made.

WUHAN, China — The Chinese authorities resorted to increasingly extreme measures in Wuhan on Thursday to try to halt the spread of the deadly coronavirus, ordering house-to-house searches, rounding up the sick and warehousing them in enormous quarantine centers.

With the excavators all running back and forward in the first vid, the fast forward bit, I half expected to see an ant mound growing in the middle of the site.

If the person didn't have it before, after being put in the "Box" where others that had the virus were transported, he probably has it now. In China the person may never been seen or heard from ever again.....

Wash your hands my friends,wash your hands.

When I was a kid, the city had an open top jeep, like WWII surplus style,with a fogger in the back for mosquito control. It had about a 6-8" elbow on the outlet hanging over the back of the jeep. You could hear it coming for blocks away. Us crazy kids used to run out and play in the smoke. How did we ever survive those days?

A few years later, I worked at a community pool. They had a small one that hung over your shoulder and squirted the smoke out a 5-6 foot pipe. Instructions on the can of stuff you put in it said very clearly. DON'T BREATHE the smoke, etc.

How did we ever survive those days?

Heck it was probably DDT or Malathion they were spraying.

Saw that used in Florida as well.
Big huge DDT fogging machines!
A;so only once in my neighborhood.
Then came the ban on DDT.
But no skitters after the passed.

Likewise, when I was young, the Street dept in my river town used to spray for mosquitoes at dusk. I clearly recall riding with other kids behind the pickup truck through the thick, white fog. Good times.

Growing up in a navy/civil service housing complex, the navy operated a truck up and down the alleys in the summer spewing DDT clouds. We also ran along behind it in the fog. Maybe I absorbed enough that mosquitoes don`t bother me these days?
