Most likely nothing serious, but given their remote location, if they get unlucky and even one person needs hospital treatment beyond what's possible at the base, that's a big problem.
- tinus_hn 5y agoJust like when any other issue arises that requires hospitalization.
- tjpnz 5y agoThe issues they're not able to deal with tend to be slow burners. You might get a week to plan an evacuation or supply drop for a cancer patient. But with Covid Pneumonia not so much.
- tinus_hn 5y agoSo what would a mainland hospital be able to do what they can’t do? Using what supplies they can’t get in advance?
- jhugo 5y agoThat's a great question. I wonder if they took a belt-and-braces approach — as well as all the quarantining and testing, bring along some remdesivir/molnupiravir/ritonavir/etc, monoclonal antibodies and so on, just in case you get really really unlucky and one of the (presumably quite fit and healthy) people ends up with a severe case.
