In that discussion I somehow lost whatever karma I had on this BB. Despite being polite and reasonable I was blasted into oblivion by some jerk(s). But with my now (-2) karma I am not above being jerky myself by pointing out that I was right, crooked-v was wrong, and any "field hospitals" the US Army made would indeed be, as I stated then, _field_ _hospitals_ and nothing like what "crooked-v" (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=crooked-v https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=crooked-v ) envisioned:
"Making these spaces fit the physical needs of these hospitals (massive power requirements for equipment, hallways and elevators with certain amounts of clearance for transporting patients, extremely well-controlled ventilation systems, sanitizable surfaces everywhere, rooms laid out with central access for doctors and nurses) would take so much time and effort that it would be more money- and time-efficient to build new buildings with the expertise of a group practiced in building new, reasonably high-quality buildings as fast as possible... like, say, the Army...These need to be modern hospitals, not 19th-century sanitariums where patients just get dumped into a bed and left to die or recover on their own."
- crooked-v, being wrong, wrong, wrong
- narogab, being a jerk and an asshole (but almost always, a _correct asshole).[God, it feels good to let go of that knife].
