Faster And Better Than Building Hospitals To Treat People During This Epidemic

Why Build Temporary Hospitals When We Already Have Perfect Buildings Just To Convert

The United States is massive and to build the required Temporary hospitals is going to be an astronomical task. Why delay the needed hospital bed capacity by building temporary hospitals when Hotels are literally the ideal places. Hotels are EVERYWHERE and are in the best locations. They are almost always placed at Express way interchanges and exits meaning that access to them will be the best for both patients and staff.

    • Hotels Near Hospitals can be the most useful as they will allow for near by emergency rooms.
    • patients can be categorized to a location by condition.
    • A nearby hospital can allow an easy location for patients to find. 

WHY HOTELS MAY WORK!

This is just a few reasons why hotels maybe the best chance to help save people.

    • Most hotels are designed to separate guest the best possible. This means that their heating and air conditioning are usually completely separated from one another.
      • With the Heating and Air Conditioning already separated from one room to another this would minimize the possibility of cross contamination of rooms. 
    • Because hotel rooms contain their own bathrooms this can easily allow people to stay comfortably in their assigned rooms. 
    • Hotels are designed to accommodate people entering and leaving rapidly everyday.
      • Hotels have the elevator capacity to move people in and out fast enough.
        • Hotels have to empty and refill their entire building multiple times a day. And because hotels relay on their elevator for their guest. Most hotels make sure that their elevators are in good shape and reliable.
      • Most hotels have controlled points of entry and exit. This would allow medical staff to control the premises.
        • This would also allow the common areas to easily be continually cleaned and disinfected.
    • Most hotels have industrial washer machines.
      • This would allow staff at the hotel to clean the rooms faster and more effectively. 
      • This would speed the rooms readiness to minutes and allow the premises to be self sufficient instead of taking capacity from near by hospitals.
    • Most hotels have the building wired for internet.
      • This can be easily converted to more secure forms of connectivity if needed.
    • Most Hotels are designed to have large power draws.
      • Instead of having every room have refrigerators and microwaves these rooms can support ventilators and other health equipment.
      • Instead of running the hotels pools and attractive features these can be used to run integral equipment. 
    • Most Hotels have parking lots.
      • These parking lots will allow staff and supplies to easily move to and from the building.

There are a few ways that these hotels can be acquired.

    • If there are any hotels chains currently needing a bailout. The US government can simply buy months of the hotels capacity and return the building afterwards. 
    • The cost of building a massive network of hospitals would probably be more than what many hotel brands are worth. The US Government can purchase the buildings from the hotels. 
    • The US Government can Lease the buildings from these brands.

Because time is literally running low, this maybe much faster. 

New York

The government has announced that they are planning on sending two massive ships to the coast of New York to help provide additional capacity to the local hospitals. 

The City of New York can match the number of beds these massive ships with just a few buildings that are almost ready. .

It is faster to fly the needed health equipment to New York and place the items in these rooms. 

    • All unnecessary room items can be removed and if needed be placed into a large warehouse to allow more space for staff, patients, and health equipment.
    • Heating in most New York Buildings are heated by radiators. This will allow no connection between rooms.
    • Many hotels have separate air conditioners in each individual room.
      • If rooms are connected to a central heating or air conditioning system. These can have filters on intakes and outputs to minimize any contamination.
