First Patients Finally?
- McCormick Place got its first COVID-19 patients this week as health care professionals begin trying out the hastily built medical center.
Patients started arriving Tuesday afternoon, and five were there Friday, officials said.
It took over a week to get up to five patients. If they build it to capacity, it's supposed to hold three-thousand patients. Current betting has it never topping a few hundred.
We also heard that IAD is running security at the building (overtime?) We're told this is so no one takes pictures of the empty beds and starts to spread them via alternative media sites....like CWB or Wirepoints. Or us.
UPDATE: No overtime, just reassigned from HQ so they don't have to go to the Districts.

In no way minimizing serious of the Wuhan Virus but ...
BRAVO to the county sheriffs in MI (4 separate men) and the one up in Racine WI for stepping forward refuse to enforce tyrannical (word chosen carefully) edicts from the power mad governors.
A saying I've read per this outbreak: "One brave man is a majority." Five count 'em 5 is a F'n landslide. Again, bravo to the troop honchos' leadership.

Rumor of the day is when off camera JB loves to frolic around in a ill fitted hospital gown...
Iad and units from HQ. No overtime and its a gigantic clusterfuck of epic proportions. Grabbed a bunch of Iad supervisors have little training put them all in day off groups to protect five people. Millions of bucks wasted. Signed covid central lackey.
The Goal is to never need to use McConneted Place to its capacity. I’d be thrilled to only see a few hundred patients cared for there. That’s the whole point in this.
That being said, when Roseland finally gets their butts around to providing us with our test results, i would not be surprised if the city begins ordering us there to convalesce, in a controlled environment......with no internet connection
Yes, it's starting to appear that it's mostly bullshit to unseat the orange one.
It's worth a great depression to enemies of this nation.
The penalty for treason is death.
There are many in government who better have a solid plan B.
IAD aint doing legit work? say it aint so.
Some one bus in the homeless from the airport... get these guys a free meal and a bath
No on IAD running security. Private security is handling both outside the halls and inside the halls. There are also some off duty officers, not all CPD, working for the private security as an armed contingent inside the COVID halls. Everyone working inside the COVID halls are gowned up in full PPE. Uniformed CPD officers from headquarters are responsible for security outside and around McCormick place with some inside the building. To be fair, I don’t know if the uniformed CPD officers are working a regular tour or overtime.
-Southside Sergeant (Working off duty)
And how many have passed through the hotel?
No pictures? You mean like from a body-cam-style camera?
Boy imagine how hard they had to work to convince 5 people to go there instead of the actual Hospitals with all the empty beds? They had to find 5 hard core Democrats.

I 💯 percent agree with you! It’s better to be over prepared than not be prepared at all. Let’s hope and pray that MCCormick place doesn’t get to full capacity. Just like always carry off duty, it’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Stay safe!
Use it for the multitude of victims of violence.
Priority being democrat credentials.
Aka, reliable, verified, democrat voters.
'Cause dat's da way
Uh huh, uh huh
Dey likes it
Uh huh, uh huh.....
Never letting a crisis go to waste, City Hall will sending FEMA a bill for 3,000 ‘occupied’ beds at typical McCormick Place prices...
They’ll probably pack MP with the homeless to fill the beds.
D.C. S.G. Is in charge. It’s the new Pacific Garden. You receive a copy of Streetwise upon checking in. CPD vehicles parked with two officers all over McCormick. Several on fixed post on King Dr, several on Moe and near the entrance of lot C. What a waste! Better off on the West side to generate dispersal numbers.
All this Mccormick place scam is is a gift to the illiterate south suburban, southwest side and Indiana union workers who made out greatly from the scam of refitting the place to screw over trump. It’s a scam now of massive proportions. I wonder how many have actually died of covid and not something else. Lori and Pritzker and the Democratic Party are disgusting to have caused this disaster to take out a duly elected president.
I wonder if the food is any good there?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Respectfully, here is a different take on the McCormick Place setup:
One major reason health care workers and cops and first responders are getting sick too often is lack of preparedness. (And in Chicago, hoarding and poor distribution of PPE because the clouted act like ... well, they behave like the clouted.)
Epidemiologists are "damned if they do." If they raise the alarms soon enough the pandemic can be less catastrophic, but then they get criticized afterwards for raising the successful alarm. It is a difficult to make educated guesses about everyone's health. Fortunately, even in today's "3rd-world America" it is done much better than it was 100 years ago.
One month ago there was no way to know if Chicago would be another NYC. Certainly, the greedy bastards who run United Airlines did not help by continuing to fly non-stops from Wuhan to ORD as long as they did. And the sh*tshow at ORD on that Friday the 13th in March -- with people rushing home from all over the world -- had the potential to send the city into a tailspin.
In summary, better to see McCormick place sit ready, get used less often than feared, and see fewer POs get sick, dealing with less residents getting sick than was reasonably feared. If McCormick place were jammed more sadly even more cops would be getting sick too.
Probably 5 crisis actors, or live action role players pretending to be patients.
Democrats will do anything to further their agenda of destroying our country. Look at what they just did to our economy.

I’m delighted to hear that they pulled officer from the HQ to serve as security instead of Patrol. There are many lazy officers hiding in Personnel, News Affairs, ERPS, the Academy, etc. use them as well.
They are only using the patience to practice they are not needed to go there this is just the pony show I should say dog and pony show then what do we have over here!
Who’s getting millions from Chicago City Hall for massive temporary health, shelter system
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/4/17/21225078/coronavirus-chicago-spending-covid19
Where is all this money coming from billions and billions of dollars? Enough money more money more money paying all the teachers full pay and benefits all the state workers that are off all the city workers that are off all the county workers that are off for pay and benefits also sure seems like the mayor that was there before ram and daily they were bikers in the treasure hunt category look at the money she has found we are going to be hit so hard with a property tax fake people will actually just probably be giving up their property! Has the mayor paid her bills yet that is due for instance the pension funds? How about that pesky contract for the police and fire department? When also are the balance going to finally be done for the fraternal order of police president? This is unconscionable the bullshit that they cannot have discounted already I know they’re saying the end of the month will they extend it more to keep Kevin and the minions in charge? No matter what help each other God bless the place God bless all the first responders fire department hospital personnel.
Obviously Groot and Fat Ass are trying to save face. Everything built at McCormack Place was for nothing.
Why all the extra CPD security? Are people trying to break in? No. Are people attempting to escape? No.
So everyone at HQ is sitting there doing nothing instead of at HQ doing nothing. Don't the districts need help? Is this another great plan from the minds that brought us the informational stop at the height of the pandemic? Is this another brilliant idea from that Darlin girl that lives in LaGrange?
its obvious showtime for the democrats who love to whine
what a waste of time and money
Can't take pictures of what? Public spaces in a building open to the public? A building funded with taxpayer dollars? Hmmmm....
Not one hospital is at capacity! So they have to use it or lose. Also, there is a 24 hour construction crew still working on Metro South getting that ready for what? Testing on the coasts suggest that 30-40% of the population are testing positive for the antibody. Jelly Belly and Groot are going to run the economy into the ground so they can get bailed out by the feds it’s only way for the state and city not to go bankrupt.
In all fairness (No I'm not a fan of Groot) the Javits Ctr and the Comfort are also near empty. Building these as field hospitals I feel was a good idea. An overreaction perhaps but better safe than sorry.
I’m at McCormick. A true waste of time.
But that is Expected from our Executive Trained Exempts.
But hey I’d rather be here getting paid to do Absolutely Nothing than be deployed to the Southside or Westside shitfields.
So I’m not complaining one bit.

My daughter is a nurse. They offered her a job paying 150K for 8 weeks straight working there as a nurse. They were going to provide her overnight accommodations at a downtown hotel for the duration. She could return home for a weekend after being there for 3 weeks. I told her not to take it as while it was good money, you can't spend it when you are dead. Maybe she should have taken it.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/coronavirus/pritzker-i-dont-feel-any-heat-to-ease-restrictions-amid-covid-19-pandemic/2258126/?amp
Well then I don’t feel any heat to stay at home
Chicago is THE MASTER of the padded construction contract scam!!!!
Soylent Green is made of people.......
Well they had to put some people in there, otherwise People may realize what a colossal waste of tax payers money the project actually is. My question is, why did it take Pristker so long to set it up and get it running. We are now 5 months into the crisis and it and other sites are just getting started. Other locations are still not ready. You dropped the ball Governor. Stop blaming others for your incompetence.
It’s all about the connected filling their deep pockets.

And he purposely wears the open side of the gown in front.🤮
And on the subject of JB flittering about in a hospital gown
Someone needs to tell him it ties in the back
Correct me if I'm wrong:
So far, 3 deaths from Covid:
2 Police, 1 Fire
Other than that, we've spent a FORTUNE on this stuff.
SOMEBODY made (and WILL make) a big buck along the
way. Only Chicago knows who the money went to.
Any different from the past?
A highway needs built, resurfacing, new construction.
"Shovel Ready?" That means like shovel it into somebody's
pocket. Last I checked, only highly trained people can finish
concrete. You don't trust millions of dollars worth of product
to a green-horned fool. Oh wait. Those jobs go to the flag
holders. The FEMALE flag holders, because in Socialism,
there's a place for everyone. On the job training.
Hey, didn't Cuomo initially say: Go out, spend money, go to
Chinatown? Then, he has the gall to pester Trump for
ventilators.
There hasn't been a single instance where any of our hospitals had to go on "diversion" since the "pandemic" started. If anyone is at McCormick they're there for PR purposes only .
There was no reason to send any patients there, was only done to justify to get more money from the evil Trump to take care of illegals, pay for years of waste, ex offenders, violence interruption programs for the black caucus political organizations, and on and on. Mccormick place was a total and complete patronage game for the unions and the connected. Totally unnecessary. Lori and fat ass have to go, both one term.
They had to put people in there.
Washington State took a ton of heat for the "COVID" treatment hospital that never saw a patient and is now being dismantled.
Let the sideshow continue.
Has Madigan’s name all over it.
Hmmmm, wonder if this will be the standard operating procedure CPD will have to follow if they start a triage for alleged Covid’s case hospital transports. Rather than hospitals transferring, they will demand wagon run the sickly diseased to MacCormack’s on the Lake for every sniffle or bellyache. Could have a CPD detail desk there for onsite I-Bonds just like the original Old County Hospital.
Did the Pacific Gardens empty out?
I’m willing to bet that MacCormack's Infirmary is merely a transfer depot.
Maybe a “Walk-Ins Welcomed” sign is at the front doe?
I could imagine an “E.T.” (1982, Universal Studios-Amblin Entertainment) government style cover up and Area 51 forbidden zone was established keeping any interlopers away from snooping the empty big top tents.
Desperate to keep the lockdown going by repurposing an otherwise abandoned convention site.
Looks like another made up crisis that will expensively go away unchallenged. It will keep the entire stretch of the lakefront empty all summer and allow MacCormack to keep the lights and water on since they’ve been failing to attract much convention business for decades.
They have to burn that gubmint money and the keep the failing MacCormack’s open somehow.
All this lockdown bullshit because they want a Democrat sworn in The White House next year.
This thing isn't over, and between the improved testing, spring weather, and the post-Easter surges, you may see more cases being shipped there. Why? The numbers in the South Suburbs (which are mostly minorities) who didn't follow protection guidelines. Here's some examples from IL Dept of Public Health numbers. On 4/16, the case counts for Calumet City=163; Dolton= 114; Harvey=107; Riverdale=116, and South Holland=139. FOUR days later (4/19): Calumet City=188 (Up 25); Dolton=132 (Up 18); Harvey=137 (Up 20); Riverdale=125 (Up 9); and South Holland=162 (Up 23). So case counts continue to go UP, not down, and the temporary hospital may yet be needed for suburban patients that tax the suburban hospitals. Chicago will see a spike yet, and it makes more sense to re-route stable but needing monitoring C-19 patients straight to the temp hospital, leaving the regular hospitals available for other emergency needs.

Welcome to the biggest Con-Job in American History folks....
They finally got patients because on Friday April 17th Tammy Duckworth while accompanied by 20/20 news channel visited the facility and they wanted bodies in there. Fact check please. No Hoax.
Steve Georgas is going to make a killing
The large trauma centers like U of C have been managing COVID-19 very well and have ICU beds available (almost 40 last week). However they are hemorrhaging money by not having elective cases like knee replacements, cancer treatments, clinical trials and others. This is due to requiring floors to be "clean" and have no COVID cases which means waiting for 2 negative test results on a patient. They also plan on having to prioritize trauma care with the fast approaching summer. Although McCormick place may never be fully used, the idea is to have the COVID cases managed there and other low acuity cases so they don't tie up trauma center resources, and they can start going back to elective procedures.
Do you really think conventions are going to come back after McCormick Place used as a hospital for covid 19 patients?

Will amount to about 11 million spent per patient.
Build it and they will come.
Looked like DR. Cooter cleaning the bedpans.
Only if they could build a casino as fast?

Big Daddy, you are CORRECT!
It's most likely a bait & switch.
You're screwed when they say your relief never showed.
Then they dare you to walk off the job, Katrina-style.

PLENTY of work when the front line dies off.

IAD consists of mostly Sgts.
The nurses that are working it (that are making huge money and good for them), have been told they can not talk about how empty it is or post any pictures. If pictures or stories come back to them, they’ll be let go.
My neighbor is on a waiting list since March 13 for knee replacement at the University of Chicago. He can barely walk. His Orthopedic Surgeon is not working on Wuhan Virus cases. But Governor Fred Flinstone will not allow any medical treatment that is not considered an emergency.
There are empty beds all over The University of Chicago in the Departments that are considered elective surgery. Mayor Lighthead and Governor Fred think they look like heroes for the fake hospitality McCormick place.
I'd rather have this and have it turn out we don't need it, than need it and not have it.
None of this is 'perfect science' - some of it's based on predictions based on what we saw happening early on, and it scared the hell out of the whole world. Locking down, sheltering in place, practicing social distancing, wearing face masks helped to reduce the # of cases, and now models are being revised downward based upon the data experienced now...
There's always a lag in those models - things have to be inputted, checked, updated, revised, etc... By the time you get the updated results, some other stuff has happened....
We can easily unpack this mobile hospital, crate it up, and store it so when we need it in the future, we've got it (just don't auction it off *cough* DeBlasio *cough*). And building it was a good exercise.

That's the whole purpose for McCormick, its an overflow IF NEEDED and HOPEFULLY they will only see a few hundred, maybe less and that's a good thing! Why are you people so effin' stupid. Shit you kill me with your ignorance at times! Stay safe and WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN!!
Not a single hospital in Chicago is at capacity. They put these people in McCormick place to justify their actions.

most scientific advancement if the result of tinkering. Very few scientific advancements were planned to perfection, then created. (One exception being the atom bomb). It's all trial and error. Even the I-phone has gone through many versions. That's why you can't criticize anyone in this mess unless they don't fix their errors. But the errors are part of the process.

--they weren't even sick. They told them to cough on the way in.
People were put in Mccormick place for show to take care of connected union workers and for photo ops to help their future political aspirations. LGBTQ Lori and fat ass toilet boy both have delusions of grandeur about Senator, VP, and god only knows what else. They both need to be exposed but us attorney John Lausch has his head too far up Loris ass to do any investigation. Sickening. Trump needs to fire his democratic ass immediately.

IAD agents? That's a new one. Do they drive around in cruisers looking for perps?
Am I wrong in thinking it would’ve made more sense to use McCormick place ASAP for COVID patients, regardless of a bed shortage in other hospitals. Thus, you would reduce the chances of cross contaminating patients with it and to staff and patients without it in other hospitals?

Thats all well and good Mr. Kool-Aid drinker, but how are we going to "unpack" our economy that was destroyed on scientific projections about the Wuhan virus that are turning out to be wrong?
Don't say cruisers.
Don't say perps.
"...someone needs to tell Governor JB that hospital gowns tie in the back..."
Thanks for the visual. My eyes won't stop bleeding.
