re: #542 A hollow Gandalfian voice says, VOTE, you fools!

To the extent that Gavin Newsom was talking yesterday about California’s “reserve capacity” of large, recently closed hospitals that can be reopened for coronavirus patients.

We know that DT is worse than no leadership at all, but I’ve been trying to calculate how much of the US (by population, not area) is now getting the right kind of advice and orders. Given that blue states are so much more populous than the red ones.

Given the shortage of equipment that the current hospitals are facing how do you suddenly find enough spare equipment (and staff expertise) to reopen and restock a closed hospital? I understand that it’s a building in place that is built/formatted for what you need, but there is more to the logistics than just the building itself.
