Chris, it's already been made:
What a terrible show. I tried watching it when it came out. Didn't make it through the 1st episode.

If this story is only partly true, then its still an epic failure
The vacant Comfort hospital ship is a symbol of our coronavirus failure

As I understood it the ship was sent to help take cases that weren't CV related, its logical to make sure a ship is not infected with a virus.

True but in the whole of the city they can only find 15-20 patients?

Hell of a hit-piece.
Basically an op-ed with no investigative work to see WHY the ship does not have Covid cases...

Funny that, because even sat in front of my UK television I have heard someone explaining that its function was NOT to deal with CV=19 but everything else, it is a general hospital ship with operating theatres etc, that seemed perfectly logical to me.
They may have been 20 people admitted for surgery, I assume all press to be as useless as ours in UK.
Aye, there is the rub. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men, it quickly goes from a "case" in one hospital to being endemic and everywhere.
We have he same issue in UK with testing labs. There are many labs who have "tests" but even from my layman's knowledge they are not suitable. Their labs and procedures are there supposedly testing a swab or sample of blood but not isolated from the technician doing the test. It only takes one technician to have the virus and the whole system is compromised.
There's a lot of asymptomatic infection happening. We've had quite a few completely asymptomatic patients who've had CAT scans and then have been found to be COVID (they are better at diagnosing it that the swabs).
I was both.Or mechanics
I loved that commercial. We had a manager that was a chronic liar where I was working at the time. We'd be in a meeting and I would say in response to some of his "more choice comments" - I heard it on the internet........he never got it.
Hugh, is it true that some patients turn out negative with the RT-PCR and than appear positive with the scan? I heard this from friends at the Rotterdam hospital. Not sure what the story I'd behind that. Are these really Corona patients? I would think the PCR would be more reliable.

According to official count, about 700 people in The Netherlands died last week of Corona. But the total amount of deaths last week is around 1400 higher then the same week in other years. So that's with the official number is worth.
