The flexibility of a container hospital is that its scale can be adjusted at any time. In a major epidemic, more containers will be placed, and the entire expressway will be closed. In a small epidemic, half of the road will be closed, so that traffic can still use the other half of the road to pass. After the epidemic is over, the containers will be sterilized, removed, and sealed. Because the containers can be stacked three-dimensionally, there is no need for a gap in the middle, and the storage usually does not take up much space. An open space 500 meters long and 100 meters wide is enough to stack 50,000 40-foot containers. The storage conditions are very loose, and the normal lifespan is 10-20 years. Floor space and maintenance costs are negligible compared to backed-up infectious disease hospitals.
Build 7 medical disaster relief container storage centers in Northeast China, North China, Northwest China, Central China, East China, Southwest China, and South China. Each storage center stores 50,000 containers. As long as the exercise is done well, thousands of boxes can be delivered to the epidemic area a day when needed.
In the time saved, we must also consider the time saved in decision-making. Generally, the construction of Xiaotangshan, Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals is finalized, and the construction process will only be started urgently after the epidemic has developed to a very serious situation. Taking the Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan as an example, an emergency decision was made to construct the hospital more than a month after the outbreak of the epidemic. However, because the cost of opening a container hospital is too low and too simple, it can be opened when an epidemic occurs, and it can be put into use almost half a month in advance. The time saved is very important.
