The famous convention center already has about 500 hospital beds, which will be used for non-acute coronavirus patients. And the facility will grow: McCormick Place will have 3,000 hospital hospital beds by the end of the month, adding badly needed hospital capacity to the Chicago area as COVID-19 cases across the state surge.
Jabba has 500 beds for a 3000 bed hospital? I guess the other 2500 can just die. Thanks, Jabba!

I watched part of the Governor’s/Mayor’s speech at McCormick Pl this afternoon. JB went out of his way to praise the wonderful union construction workers, a couple dozen of what I assume to be them standing in the background, wearing their yellow vests. Doing it on their own time for the glamor, or to show appreciation that their jobs have been restored? Or collecting straight time pay? Overtime? Double time?
Too, I thought COVID-19 victims should be in rooms with negative pressure. How will they do that in the ceiling-free cubicles?
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Tv may have been deceptive but it looked like they did not practice social distancing.
Maybe Bobba Fatt could offer his mansions to be used as hospitals.
Never mind, they have no toilets and are uninhabitable
