In order to treat more patients diagnosed with coronavirus, many local gyms, campuses and other facilities are requisitioned by the government to be used as temporary hospitals.
When tragedy hits, the weight of the dire situation may result in some of us resorting to unconventional coping mechanisms, one of which is ironically humour. This dark humour may help to alleviate the stress of the situation, overall helping the affected. On the 19th of February, one of the temporary hospitals delegated to treat patients of the latest novel coronavirus in China put up a show titled “Authentic Battle” with their own patients and crew. According to netizens, this is already their second show. .
Temporary facilities increase patient admission, contributing to efficient care for moderate level patients and inhibiting advancement to critical stages. This as long they are conditioned with the correct equipment, hospital beds, staff and medicine. Moreover, in the planning phase, decision-makers should consider essential requirements such as emergency entrances and exits, access to ambulances, specific access for maintenance and replacement of inputs and resources, and different entrances and exits for patients and staff.
The plot of the show is basically having the “Coronavirus” come in menacingly and the patients and medical staff defeat the virus together.
Netizens were inspired by this, saying things like “this is the positive attitude we need to fight against the virus.”
Other than this, the hospitals also provide other leisure activities such as karaoke, Tai Chi, yoga, etc.
