COVID-19: Italians Designed Emergency Hospital Out Of Shipping Containers(Pics) by Explorers(m): 6:29am On Mar 26, 2020 |
Currently, Italy is the world’s worst-hit country by the pandemic. Within the last 24 hours, 743 have passed away from Covid-19, bringing the death toll to a total of 6,820. Over 3,000 people are left in critical condition with more and more of them arriving at the ICU every day. The hospitals are overcrowded and doctors and nurses are run down from exhaustion. Unfortunately, the pandemic shows no signs of easing any time soon. Recently, Italian architects designed a life-saving solution to increase the ICU capacity. An international task force of designers, engineers, medical professionals, and military experts teamed up to create CURA, an open-source project aimed at capacity building in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Their invention called CURA, allows turning shipping containers into portable intensive care pods. https://www.boredpanda.com/cura-intensive-care-units-shipping-containers/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic 2 Likes 2 Shares

The creators of CURA got the brilliant idea to turn shipping containers into intensive care pods that will serve as wards for COVID-19 patients. The project was designed by Italian architects Carlo Ratti and Italo Rota. According to the creators, these 20-foot intermodal containers can be mounted as quickly as a hospital tent, but are as safe as the isolation ward due to biocontainment with negative pressure.

These pods are easy to transport and can be deployed within hours. They can be used individually or can be set up in various arrangements connected by an inflatable structure.

Each of the biocontainment units has the capacity to fit medical equipment and two patients. The very first CURA, which is being developed in an open-source, not-for-profit framework, is now being built in Milan, Italy, with the sponsorship of UniCredit. 3 Likes

This Corona is bringing out the creativity in people. China built a massive hospital within a week. Now Italy is building theirs with container. (In a normal day they will never think of building a HOSPITAL with container). Lastly, It has made our leadeers remember that therre are hospitals in the country 1 Like |

As they always say: "necessity is the mother of invention." That's why it's important to always stay calm during the time of crisis. |

And our useless Nigeria is still waiting for wen dey are overwhelmed before dey start running helter skelter.. One would have assumed they would have started making arrangements for ventilators and emergency isolation and treatment centers, upgrading and stocking existing ones with beds and d rest.. Always waiting for d worst to happen before reacting |

segebase: While in Nigeria, we're "designing" fake hand sanitizers that could even cause further damages just because as usual, our greediness is making us want to cashout "without sense" on every situation. TRULY, GOD SAVE US! 1 Like

Please our government should start doing something before it's too late. They should know that no abroad hospital for them to run to. Equip our hospitals, they didn't. Corona is not doing preferential treatment. We are all stuck here. |
