Since the middle of March, Wuhan “Square Cabin” hospitals have been “closed”. It is considered to be the main reason for China’s successful control of the epidemic situation, and it provides an experience reference for countries to prevent epidemic.

On the day before yesterday, a British hospital with a capacity of 4,000 patients was announced 9 days after its completion. To be precise, it was transformed from a large convention center into the world’s largest emergency center.

Is it a replica of Wuhan’s “square cabin” or “Vulcan Mountain” and “Thunder Mountain”?

One

This world’s largest “square cabin” hospital also has a nice name-“Nightingale”. It is the new NHS Nightingale Hospital, and also has a dedicated morgue.

When you stand there, it may be difficult to imagine that this used to be the ExCel Convention and Exhibition Center in London. At the same time, you will find that this is a very comprehensive site: it is only three miles from the London City Cemetery and Crematorium.

London Mayor Roxana Fiaz (Rokhsana Fiaz) ​​ said: “In a dignified and solemn cremation or funeral Previously, this was a place to put away loved ones. Of course, this is a warehouse that will never allow sad relatives to visit. “

More than 80 wards and 500 beds. As an emergency center, these are not small numbers. “Nightingale” is equipped with a ventilator for each bed. It is not an ordinary mild-symptomatic patient accommodation. The Guardian once said that this hospital mainly treats young new crown viruses that “need intensive care but have the greatest chance of survival.” patient.

In this way, it is different from the “square cabin” and more similar to the functions of “Vulcan Mountain” and “Thunder Mountain”.

Whether China is a “square cabin”, “Vulcan Mountain”, or “Raytheon Mountain” hospital, they have not deliberately designed the morgue.

This is notIt is the Chinese design team that is not well thought out, but reflects the difference in thinking between the two parties.

We care about our emotions and do our best to cure them, and we do n’t want to take the initiative to speak out.

The British government predicted early that if mortality rates continue to rise, the country ’s existing morgues may be under-supplied, so such initiatives are made with limited resources.

BDP Architects is a construction company that helps transform the “Nightingale”. His principal James Hepburn (James Hepburn) talks about: “Interestingly, when the military builds camps in the field hospital, one of the first things they do is to build a mortuary.”

“This is a psychological consideration-if you are in a state of war, knowing that the side of the war can be dealt with is actually quite reassuring.”

When people have to face an emergency or even death, the only thing they can do is to prepare and face it wholeheartedly. This is not an initiative to “give up”, but a mentality to calmly face difficulties.

After paying the price for the initial mistakes, the British faced the problems that followed with such reason.

Second

It took nine days to transform the “Nightingale”, a decision made by the British without more hesitation.

Portakabin, a New York construction company, was ordered in critical condition. Director Robert Snook (Robert Snook) did not expect that they are good at exotic plants and Enterprises that make high-end red wine refrigerators will receive such projects as designing morgues.

Left to right translation: 500 beds installed in 9 days, more than 160 contractors, and 200 workers working more than 15 hours a day. Services provided by this hospital: 4000 patients, 80 wards with 42 beds, 16,000 staff services, 750 volunteers from St. John ’s Field Hospital, thousands of from AirJet and Santa Maria Airlines Help from the company’s crew.

In order to create a life-saving facility for this emergency center, BDP Architects needed to change the ventilation and electrical systems of the venue. This is not an easy job. “The design proposals proposed by the architects are almost the same as those that need new construction.” Hepburn, the head of BDP, expressed.

Not only that, he found something very difficult from the first day of work–because a large number of factories in the UK were closing, it was difficult for them to buy what they wanted in time.

In the end, they used extra reinforced exhibition partitions to make the bed heads, and then designed long-running electricity, water, drainage and medical gases behind them.

Maybe you ca n’t help seeing this-is such an important event, in China, will you be hindered by the closure of the factory?

Jump back to China for the first time in January this year. Wuhan CITIC Architectural Design Institute is the main force in designing the “Vulcan Mountain” hospital. When it received the “Xiaotangshan” experience drawings from Beijing Zhongyuan International Engineering Design and Research Institute, the team leader Dr. Huang Xiqiu called 60 designers in one hour to make suggestions for the project, and within 60 hours, he confirmed with the construction unit. Construction drawings.

“More than 260 power workers of the State Grid have been working continuously 24 hours a day.”

Not to mention skipping the design of the building, the “Chinese ability” that we say in our mouths means that we can quickly mobilize various institutions. Within these ten days, each link has a professional department to coordinate and implement it.

This kind of social scheduling shows a unique and respectable efficiency.

Different in the UK, it needs to find a commercial company to contract this project. They need to pay workers about 14 pounds per hour to support their labor. This is their game rule.

In the face of national life and safety, the management under each system is also doing its best. Everyone has his strong and weak points. Although such a topic makes people want to provoke it.

After building this hospital, the British also said something interesting.

Three

The venue where “Nightingale” is located was one of the venues for the 2012 London Olympics. For this transformation, 200 people have to work 15 hours a day.

The person in charge Hepburn said, “Here, there is no regular ‘design responsibility matrix’, nor there is no boring management, this is a form of very free cooperation. It shows: When everyone is united What are the possibilities it can achieve when working together to achieve a common goal. “

“If we go back to regular work and meet someone who says” No “to things, we will definitely feel very frustrated.”

Although they are on the “front line”, the “enjoy the present” mentality has become an important gain for them. For example, in a commercial project, Party B does not have to bear the repeated torment required by Party A, or will not be frustrated by repeated leadership denials.

It can also be said that this is their consistent optimism. “Go enjoy life” is what they say frequently in their daily lives.

It is easier to understand the mood of the night that the Italian “balcony Renaissance” and the United Kingdom applauded for the NHS. These workers are not only proud of the dedication of the country, but also have a sense of personal satisfaction.

At the critical moment of the global fight against the epidemic, people in all regions are already facing their own ways. Different cultures, different concepts, and different forms and effects.
