Biden Sent Hundreds Of Ambulances And Millions Of Meals And Liters Of Water Before Ida Hit [View all] babylonsister Aug 2021 OP

That is great. But, I have to wonder where, exactly those ambulances were to transport people... hlthe2b Aug 2021 #1

I suppose that's exactly the point of those ambulances. jaxexpat Aug 2021 #7

There are no essentially NO hospitals with facilities to transport to. Highways or no. hlthe2b Aug 2021 #17

Is that true? How can there be no hospitals treestar Aug 2021 #33

COVID_19... I'm talking ICU beds. BEFORE the storm. They knew it, and are praying hlthe2b Aug 2021 #35

Field hospitals can be set up amazingly fast. Mr.Bill Aug 2021 #44

The hope is that they pre-identified warehouses & other buildings and pre-placed hlthe2b Aug 2021 #46

Why would facilities in Houston, Beaumont, Shreveport, Dallas, Memphis etc. be on generators? jaxexpat Aug 2021 #38

I didn't say all hospitals were using generators. They are full of COVID. hlthe2b Aug 2021 #39

As of last Thursday Ky had 20% ICU units available. There's probably less now. jaxexpat Aug 2021 #41

Plus, each ambulance is like a mini trauma ward on wheels. FailureToCommunicate Aug 2021 #16

Hardly. They need to transport them SOMEWHERE. hlthe2b Aug 2021 #19

Hmmm. Maybe you haven't seen the inside of a modern ambulance. FailureToCommunicate Aug 2021 #21

LOLOL. Only every day I've worked the past decades. Good for stabilization. hlthe2b Aug 2021 #25

Okay. Well, "stabilization" is likely the immediate need here after the storm, no? FailureToCommunicate Aug 2021 #26

Again. Where are they going to transport them to? Oxygen, blood replacement substitutes, drugs hlthe2b Aug 2021 #27

Thank you for the work you do/have done. FailureToCommunicate Aug 2021 #29

I assure you I share you worries and respect for all trying to deal with this. I wish all the best. hlthe2b Aug 2021 #30

Thinking the same thing. Ambulances add versatility to emergency response. Auggie Aug 2021 #36

Worst case scenario, the ambulances have supplies and can treat minor/moderate injuries. forgotmylogin Aug 2021 #32

And he's doing it under withering criticism by opponents, friends, and the press Walleye Aug 2021 #2

What? No paper towels? And, why didn't he nuke the storm? nt Atticus Aug 2021 #3

Why liters instead of gallons? Effete Snob Aug 2021 #4

Unique idea send necessary supplies in ahead of the storm. Who would have thought? Not GQP party. usaf-vet Aug 2021 #10

People can also drink liters, take two. Betty88 Aug 2021 #11

The bottle openers aren't metric! Effete Snob Aug 2021 #28

That's easy, liters are Marxist and socialist. Dream Girl Aug 2021 #14

Dems can take the socialist liters IronLionZion Aug 2021 #24

The only thing Biden is doing wrong is being too humble about all the good that he has done. LaMouffette Aug 2021 #34

Biden didn't suggest 'nuking' the hurricane either. CousinIT Aug 2021 #37
