The state of the restaurant industry

We could turn all these empty hotel rooms into ICU beds if we upgrade to negative pressure ventilation, and we could turn all these empty restaurants into community testing and supply distribution centers staffed by the laid off employees paid for with federal helicopter-drop funds. Think New Deal-level changes.

Not real possible. ITU wards are highly specialised. However the UK is already looking at moving the most well patients to hotels and then uograding wards to ITUs.

THIS. Yes I'm aware of the challenges, not the least of which is ventilation. But this is a great step towards a pivot. Thanks!

Good plan. Restaurants are almost like like hospitals if you discount for training, facilities and ability to deal with ill people.

ICU === eating pizza

With fries.
