Military?What's the army's role here?
Shock and awe?
Supply doctorsConstruct field hospitals for overcrowdingOperate testing sites
Some of this already is occurring, and some is barred by law.Not sure about constructing field hospitals. Why would troops do that more effectively and efficiently than private sector firms?
Empty dorms make great makeshift hospitals
Except, right or wrong, I would imagine that would make many families extremely anxious about returning their children to the dorms afterwards.
Lack of your own bathroom makes that a non starter for most of them.
Imagine some hotels could be looking for some business
Italy with almost 6k new cases today. Either they have increased testing, or people aren't following orders.Possibly worst case, it is spreading through ventilation, so the quarantine isn't helping.
The numbers in the pinned chart haven't changed for France, where based on the public's poo-pooing of the virus and refusing to self-quarantine, I would expect to follow a similar pattern to Italy.

I thought this might be of interest, given the persistent lack of testing capabilities for covid-19.Here in Rochester, Mayo Clinic has ramped up its testing capabilities to about 4,000 specimens/day, and currently operated two drive-through collection sites. To move a step further, it is partnering with our local public health office and a smaller medical facility in town (Olmsted Medical Center) to pilot a "large-scale" collection facility at our county fairgrounds. The article below doesn't specify what they mean by "large-scale," but hopefully supply will finally begin to catch up with demand...at least around here.https://www.medcitybeat.com/news-blog/2020/county-omc-mayo-clinic-joint-testing-site
Great that they are testing that many. Do they also have enough labs to process that many tests?
