[TheForge] Brainstorm -- any underutilized mobile homes out there?

[Saint Phlip]

Just got an email from a friend of mine who's an ER physician in one of the
hospitals in NYC. Things seem to be looking up:

" Doing ok.  NYC seems to have passed the peak, though still lots of people
getting sick.  My hospital has been ok with PPE - though they told us a
couple weeks ago to just wear one mask for our whole shift, basically
ignoring whatever cross-contamination that may mean for patients.  But,
there are so few patients who don't have COVID-19 at this point that it
probably doesn't matter.  The biggest issue is patients who are technically
admitted but stuck in the ED because every other place is full.  They
turned the OR recovery room into an ICU, as well as the whole telemetry
unit.  But they haven't had to actually increase the ED staffing, so I'm
just working the same schedule as it was made back in February. "

So, with luck, hard work on the parts of many people, careful social
distancing, etc, it looks like we're getting through this.

“Everyone knows that dragons don’t exist. But while this simplistic
formulation may satisfy the layman, it does not suffice for the scientific
mind. The School of Higher Neantical Nillity is in fact wholly unconcerned
with what does exist. Indeed, the banality of existence has been so amply
demonstrated, there is no need for us to discuss it any further here. The
brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered three
distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the purely
hypothetical. They were all, one might say, nonexistent, but each
non-existed in an entirely different way.” ― Stanisław Lem, The Cyberiad
