Title: Chinese Hospital
Post by: Lizzie Zoom on 03 February 2020, 13:29:57
Well, they did it! :D :D :y

China have completed, within 8 days, the construction of a 1,000 bed hospital 8) 8)

Apparently 7,500 worked day and night to build it.

Perhaps this crew should be brought to the UK to give Boris of constructing all the hospitals he has promised!! ;D ;D ;)

Just shows what you can do in a non-democratic state ::) ::)

The last one they built in a rush, for the SARS problem in 2003, they "abandonded" shortly after and it has never been used again ..... but is now being "rebuilt" to "upgrade" facilities ... I wonder why ....  :)

The BBC News at lunchtime stated "8 days".

But 8 or 10, that is still a great achievement :D ;)

Eight days...... :y

In the UK we would need 10 years to get planning permission, and another ten years for a gaggle of hairy-arsed builders to finish their tea break and pick up a spade.  :)

Don't forget the 5 years of risk assessment in between.  ;)

and the quiet but expensive 'letting go' of at least three inept and larcenous senior managers, leaving a huge hole in the finances and adding another year to the completion date......

It may only go as far as Brum. If this is true there will be many pissed-off Whippet/ferret/pigeon owners in the northern wasteland. ::) ::) ::) ;)

It's good to build a new hospital after you threaten doctors with prison for warning of a potential new virus outbreak, I guess? ;D
