Im pretty familiar with how testing works...but I don’t understand how this does. It’ s just two people with advanced degrees/training in a metal box as far as I can work out.

Can you even imagine being an employee in one of those things?

It’s basically a space capsule . Lock the nerds in a metal container, send them somewhere dangerous, and tell them not to break anything.

Shipping container “architecture” will be the death of us all. Almost always a shitty  solution in search of a problem.

I mean, they better be bullet proof. If people are willing to shoot at cell tower workers over 5G, they are 100% gonna dump rounds into a Bill Gates backed mobile monitoring station.

You can imagine if you ever been the foreman of an oil drilling operation.  Or a construction site.  Or any other industry that uses trailers as offices.

What I mean is that I see no way to administer a test if you can’t interact with the patient.

What doofus decided to append “care pod” with citizen?? I’m guessing a light troll from a PCL employee/Half Life fan.

Maybe, but those people can walk outside and stretch their legs every once in a while, and have a little more human interaction, and they’re in less of a fish bowl. I’m guessing the employees in these things only are let out after a 4 hour stint to grab a bite for lunch.

There are holes in the glass.  You just need a swab on a stick?

Oddly, I’ve worked in a ton of shipping containers and I kind of enjoy the form factor. You can do a lot with them if you arrange it right.

I’ve been in one that was converted into a bar. It was tight, but it was glorious.

They couldn’t just do some iris ports? Seems like the big openings sort of defeat the purpose, like you could just do it in a normal cubicle in a building somewhere.

Heh, this doesn’t surprise me though.

Wayyyyy back in Feb when the spread started I immediately thought of the travel industry and that medical screening is now going to be required for all int travel.

Just like how the loony tunes brought guns and bombs on planes forced x-ray and metal detectors, virus spread on aircraft will create health screening post vaccine.

Be prepared to arrive yet another hour before departure in the near future.

This is exactly right. “We can build it into a shipping container!!” (But since want to keep the rain, water and rodents out, we will spend twice as much as necessary and end up with a substandard thing anyway.)

As someone that does custom design work, I cringe when I hear anything about a container. It’s much better to, you know, design the thing you need and then build a flat rack around it.

I think its the dimensions that kill it. They are too narrow. The exterior works great to keep the weather out, but any insulation has to be done inside to take vantage of the exterior shell. Now the room is only like 6' wide and thats no good. if you cut a wall off to make it wider, then you need structural reinforcement. Its too bad cuz those things be be had for CHEAP

At one point my friend had asked me to draw up a container camp site.
