Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Nope, but you need beds to keep people from being dead bodies.

Yes, but I'm saying, on 9/11, those 3,000 people were dead on the spot.

Correct, but what if they weren't? Nobody has thought of this? I mean, you and I couldn't have imagined this happening, but people get paid to think about these things.

People think that a densely populated city with more residents than most states should have more hospital beds than those states, no? The metro area of NYC just inside the State is about 20 Million people. Ohio has 12 million and more beds. Illinois has 12 million and more beds.

I was shocked to see those numbers. I had to do my own research to find out because nobody is talking about it.

Lulz.  You're never wrong OAM.  Never, ever.

Continue on.

Maybe this is why I'm confident.  Whenever I plainly ask for reasoning behind an argument, you just jump ship.  You don't get to bitch about my arrogance if you're never going to provide reasoning when we're at odds.

Don't be the coward behind his keyboard.  

The only state close to NY with extra bed capacity is PA, which has about double what is projected there. Maybe some patients can be transported if need be. NY, NJ, CT, RI and MA are all short, with NY being in the worst shape. 

I'm not saying they should have 80,000 beds. I'm saying they should have more than Ohio.

Alabama is next in line for being in the worst shape here, with 28K projected needs versus 5700 beds available.

Where are they supposed to put all of the long-term beds they need?  A new skyscraper?  

And maybe this will lead back to a lab. And the CCP will end up with a PR problem for covering it up.

And then where does it go? Closing the barn door after the horse is out doesn't help the world. And I don't think we're going to go to war over it and kill a couple million more people.

I don't think China can genuinely have any kind of PR problem.

Its citizens: don't like it, shut up or you're dead.
Other countries (including us): don't like it, okay, we'll stop sending you all of the things you need to exist.

China can shrug anything off.

They would not need to be on Manhattan obviously, or even within one of the five Bs.  There is vacant land within a 5 mile radius, and in fact, it's possible NJ has capacity for NYC, I don't know that.  Just looking at NYC capacity COULD be misleading if ample hospital capacity is just across a line.
