BEIJING — As China's latest saga was in its early days—but already out of control—to take the focus off their foot-dragging, the boys in Beijing decided to slap together a few prefabbed hospitals. <br />At first, the Chinese boasted the first one, Huoshenshan, would be finished in a mere 6 days, leaving many westerners to complain that it often took 6 years just to get a simple road built in their home countries. But then 6 days, turned into 10. <br />According to Business Insider, Chinese state media livestreamed frantic construction efforts with a bunch of aerial drone shots of excavators everywhere pushing around a lot of dirt paired with patriotic CCP-style tunes. <br />The second makeshift hospital, Leishenshan, was completed in 12 days. <br />And if you're wondering what kind of quality construction went into building these facilities? Here's a little taste. <br />Anyways, Chinese officials claimed the two hospitals would have 2,600 extra beds for a health care system clearly stretched over its limits.<br />Official speakerbox Xinhua even went so far as to call the quick construction, "Mission Impossible made possible."<br />However, Business Insider reports that official Chinese data shows that as of Feb. 12, the facilities were running at less than half their projected capacity. <br />While Huoshenshan is now full, Leishenshan only had 416 patients out of a possible 1,600 capacity. <br />But let's be honest folks, would you want to stay at one of these places?
