BALTIMORE — The Maryland National Guard and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are getting a field hospital up and running at the Baltimore Convention Center.
There will be 250 beds to treat coronavirus patients. Gov. Larry Hogan said, so far, the state is weeks ahead of schedule in the hospital surge plan.
"This is the National Guard doing what we do best. Whether it's a federal emergency, a natural disaster or serving overseas, we're here doing what we do best. Whether it's fighting or planning, right now, we're fighting covid, that's our adversary. We plan to fight and win," Maryland Army National Guard commander Brig. Gen. Janeen Birckhead said.
Besides what's happening at the Baltimore Convention Center, the neighboring Hilton hotel will also be transformed into a field hospital.

I LOVE all my military, but does anyone have one ounce of curiosity??? I don't think you do...is anyone awake yet? Please use your Critical Thinking Skills...so much more going on here.
Is the chowhound Woodchuck up there playing a leadership role?
How come mayor day doesn't assign his dep mayor so he can go fight the Corona Virus ?
So much more!
4:11 and 6:37 - if the government is going to do something drastic as you both are implying, what's the hold up? All they actually did was create a hay day for firearm dealers. Why would the "enemy" encourage their opponents to arm up before the attack. Think about this a minute.
