Neanderthals vs. "Science"

So they were build for ICU overflow (COVID) but they didn't have adequate equipment for critical care?

Most of these field hospitals were not ICU or critical care facilities. Most came from private organizations such as Samaritan's Purse. Samaritan’s Purse had one of the most advanced facilities with 68 beds and 10 ICU beds with ventilators in NYC early in 2020. Their primary issue was staffing - a staff of 70 is necessary for the field facility.

Of course people opposing this hospital because of the organization's ties to Franklin Graham made it close down.

So to recap, hospitals had some of the lowest utilization rates in years, but you claim this is because there was only a little bit of ICU availability. So they built field hospitals that weren't used, and you claim that - because vast areas of existing hospitals went unused (because they weren't ICU) that corporations (which are in it for the money) built most of these new hospitals to serve non-ICU population when the regular hospitals had plenty of this room already?

I see.

The field hospital was not used? Read the article -- they had an average of 50 people in it at all times -- with 68 beds available (10 of which were ICU).

Most field hospitals are designed for basic care and are more appropriate for disease outbreaks such as malaria, etc. in other parts of the world. Even creating a field hospital with 10 ICU beds is costly.

As a private for-profit corporation would you build a new hospital at tremendous cost (or convert your current hospital as huge cost) for a medical crisis that is likely only to last months. Ignoring that by the time you complete the conversion the crisis in the region will probably be over and you will have no use for all the ICU beds.

That's wonderful for your one example of the exception (shocking, that's all you'd provide but totally understandable).

From Reuters:

U.S. Field Hospitals Stand Down, Most Without Treating Any COVID-19 Patients

Now, this was a year ago article, but I checked and there are a bunch of articles afterwards (through November) verifying many never saw a patient. Or those that did, saw almost no one.

And once again...

I will note that nearly all the ICU beds in the hospitals and the field hospitals were used.

You are just spinning the typical COVID-denier nonsense that COVID is not real because most wings of the hospitals were empty. I thought input from medical professionals running these facilities had buried this ridiculous COVID-denier nonsense back in 2020. But apparently not, Here you are again spewing the same old nonsense.

Right, now Reuters is a COVID denier and lying.

Extreme liberal ET trolls have such short memories. Maybe, due to their Trump Derangement Syndrome? Remember the Javits Center which our military turned into a hospital? Over 2,900 beds yet, had only 20 patients during the short time it was open? Yet, extreme liberal idol Andrew Cuomo sent Corona Virus infected patients into nursing homes resulting into needless deaths of seniors in those nursing homes? Such is the extreme liberal mindset and utter idiocy.

You manifest zero critical thinking skills...
hence there is a strong chance you could have benefited from a larger dose of liberal arts education.

Or... perhaps had you been forced to learn how to to defend your thoughts and learned to base them on facts, data and reality... a doctorate might have helped you.

Alas, most of us can see your education has failed to turn you into a person who thinks well.

It's a pointless question I only needed 4 years of school to be in high demand in the professional world. More school was never attractive. I went to the best program in the country in my area, a globally recognized program then and now.
