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.

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.

This time shall pass

Help stop the spread! Kalahari roars for Manspace.

It is well with Nigeria

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

Life is so crazy!! The same Europe young folks risks their lives to enter by trekking and all, same Italy wey as at early this year men still dey plan to enter, i am sad but glad our leaders can’t go out side the country to seek medical help at least no be poor man disease this time around the only thing is poor man go follow suffer sef because it will be a factor of those that can pay for the available medical equipments like ventilators and the likes!!
I just hope and pray this whole Virus pandemic ends soon!!!

It's not the first time China is doing so. They did it during SARS time as well

Desperate times call for Desperate Measures

Better we start something

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.

Hope Bubu is seeing this.

Lol,
too bad the disease is still spreading.
Just my thought though.

God save us

Nice one

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

Remember what they said about the mother of invention

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.
