美国出动35艘医院船搭建216座火神山医院?假消息

最近,随着美国国内新冠病毒疫情迅速爆发,美国总统特朗普除了在新闻发布会上大放厥词外,也难得的对疫情防控作出了一些贡献:派遣美国海军的两艘医院船前往东西海岸。这两艘医院船分别搭载有1000张床位,可以缓解当地医疗机构的压力。

按理说这本来是好事,但因为众所周知的原因,“美国”、“医院船”和“1000张床位”这些关键词结合起来后,产生的化学反应也是十分奇妙的。很快,美国海军的医院船队数量就被一些不明真相或是别有用心的人迅速扩充:从2艘扩充至10艘,又很快增加至35艘的庞大船队。

这35艘医院船,个个都有着1000张床位,那岂不是等于说一夜之间多出来35火神山吗?比起中国的火神山雷神山和方舱医院,肯定是厉害多了,看来美国战胜新冠病毒已经指日可待……
显然,这些内容全都是编造的,而且编造者无疑缺乏对医院船这一特种船只最基本的常识。

医院船,就是一艘海上的浮动医院。一般而言,医院船都归属某一国家的政府部门或海军所有,少数归属民间或国际组织拥有。医院船看起来似乎不起眼,但一艘医院船的造价丝毫不低于一艘现代化的大型护卫舰,因此世界上只有极少数的国家拥有专用的医院船。

与“罗纳德·里根”号航母并行的“仁慈”号医院船
目前,美国海军拥有世界上最大的两艘仁慈级医院船“仁慈”与“舒适”号。这两艘医院船是由圣克莱门托级油轮改造而来,排水量达到6万5千吨,是美国海军除了航空母舰外最大的船只。但即使强大如美国海军,也仅仅拥有这两艘大型医院船。

事实上,全世界的医院船加在一起,恐怕还不到35艘,大型医院船更不超过10艘。除了美国海军之外,放眼世界范围,吨位达到9000吨以上的大型医院船已经屈指可数,只有中国、美国、俄罗斯等国拥有大型医院船。
而英国、日本等传统海军强国都没有真正意义上的医院船。

与“仁慈”号并行的“和平方舟”号医院船
由于医院船多数属于军用船只,因此首先需要为军事需求服务。战争时期,医院船主要负担对战争伤员的救治任务,因此以治疗烧伤、枪伤、弹片伤为主,而不是针对治疗传染病设计的。

以美国的仁慈级医院船为例,该级医院船设计建造于冷战时期,因此配备了完备的核生化武器防护能力。但这种防御能力为“增压”式的,即保证船内气压大于外界,防止外界污染物进入。而防止传染病需要的是负压病房,即病房内为污染物,病房外为安全区,和医院船的三防需求正好相反。
也正因为如此,美国海军派出的两艘医院船只能集中收治当地的普通疾病患者,而不能接收新冠肺炎患者。对新冠肺炎的治疗仍然需要普通医院的医护人员来进行,医院船起到的作用只是为医院腾出更多人员床位而已,和火神山医院这种专用的传染病医院有着天壤之别。

更大的问题是,“仁慈”号医院船一般是停泊在圣迭戈军港的,船上的医务人员平时在圣迭戈海军医疗中心工作,启用这艘医院船需要进行5天的准备。而“舒适”号此时还在诺福克进行维护工作,估计至少要等到45天后才能抵达纽约!这样的速度,恐怕还是远水解不了近渴。纽约人民的疫情防控工作,暂时还是得靠自己了。

与此同时,另一组照片和“180座战地医院一夜之间遍布全美”的消息也很快流传开来。但很快有人发现,这些“遍布全美”的战地医院,实际上是在斯洛文尼亚。而这些消息的编造者为了混淆视听,刻意P掉了照片上的斯洛文尼亚国旗。
5419-ireifzh8661963.jpg

事实上,美军确实已经开始准备模仿“方舱医院”的方式,在纽约等地将学校宿舍、宾馆和体育场改建为临时医院。但美国陆军工程兵团指挥官托德·西蒙尼中将表示,这项工作将会花费3到4个星期来完成,而绝非“一夜间拔地而起”。

如今,美国国内的疫情已经十分严峻,传播速度不断增加。在这里,我们当然希望美国人民早日战胜疫情,但我们不能容忍的,是在疫情面前刻意吹捧或恶意贬损某一国家和人民抗击疫情的努力,甚至制造谣言,大力吹捧美国或其他国家对疫情的“强力措施”,并试图以此抹杀中国人民在抗击疫情时的努力和牺牲。


The United States dispatched 35 hospital ships to build 216 Vulcan Hill hospitals? False news

Recently, with the rapid outbreak of the new crown virus in the United States, in addition to the public outcry at the press conference, US President Trump also made some rare contributions to the prevention and control of the epidemic: sending two US Navy hospital ships to the east and west coasts. The two hospital ships each carry 1,000 beds, which can ease the pressure on local medical institutions.

It is logical to say that this is a good thing, but for well-known reasons, the chemical reactions produced by the keywords "United States", "hospital ship" and "1000 beds" are also wonderful. Soon, the number of hospital fleets in the U.S. Navy was rapidly expanded by people with unknown truths or ulterior motives: from 2 to 10, and quickly to a huge fleet of 35.

The 35 hospital ships all have 1,000 beds, isn't it equivalent to saying that 35 Vulcan Hills are added overnight? Compared to China's Vulcan Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Fangcai Hospital, it must be much more powerful. It seems that the United States' victory over the new crown virus is just around the corner ...

Obviously, these contents are all fabricated, and the fabricators undoubtedly lack the most basic common knowledge about the special vessel of hospital ships.

The hospital ship is a floating hospital at sea. Generally speaking, hospital ships are owned by the government or navy of a certain country, and a few are owned by civil or international organizations. The hospital ship may seem inconspicuous, but the cost of a hospital ship is no less than that of a modern large frigate, so only a few countries in the world have dedicated hospital ships.

医院 The hospitality ship "Benevolence" in parallel with the aircraft carrier "Ronald Reagan"

At present, the US Navy owns two of the world's largest benevolent hospital ships, the Mercy and Comfort. The two hospital ships were converted from San Clemento-class tankers with a displacement of 65,000 tons, making them the largest ships in the United States Navy except for aircraft carriers. But even as powerful as the US Navy, it only owns these two large hospital ships.



In fact, there are less than 35 hospital ships worldwide, and no more than 10 large hospital ships. In addition to the US Navy, looking at the world, there are only a handful of large hospital ships with a tonnage of more than 9,000 tons. Only China, the United States, Russia and other countries have large hospital ships.

However, traditional naval powers such as Britain and Japan do not have any real hospital ships.

医院 The hospital ship "He Fang Zhou" paralleled with "Benevolence"

Because hospital ships are mostly military ships, they must first serve military needs. During the war, the hospital ship was mainly responsible for the rescue of war wounded. Therefore, it was mainly designed to treat burns, gunshot wounds, and shrapnel wounds, not designed to treat infectious diseases.



Take the American Mercy Class hospital ship as an example. This class hospital ship was designed and built during the Cold War period, so it is equipped with complete nuclear and chemical weapon protection capabilities. However, this defense capability is "supercharged", which means that the air pressure inside the ship is greater than the outside world, preventing outside pollutants from entering. The prevention of infectious diseases requires a negative-pressure ward, that is, pollutants in the ward and a safe area outside the ward, which is exactly the opposite of the three defense requirements of hospital ships.

Because of this, the two hospital ships sent by the United States Navy can only focus on treating patients with common diseases in the local area, but not patients with new coronary pneumonia. The treatment of new crown pneumonia still needs to be performed by medical staff in ordinary hospitals. The role of the hospital ship is to make more hospital beds for the hospital, which is very different from the dedicated infectious disease hospital such as Vulcan Mountain Hospital.

The bigger problem is that the hospitality ship of the Mercy is usually anchored at the San Diego military port. The medical staff on board usually work at the San Diego Naval Medical Center. It takes 5 days to prepare for the operation of the hospital ship. The "Comfort" is still performing maintenance work in Norfolk at this time, it is estimated that it will wait at least 45 days before arriving in New York! At such a speed, I am afraid that far away can not hydrolyze near thirst. The outbreak prevention and control of the people in New York still has to rely on themselves.

At the same time, another set of photos and the news of "180 battlefield hospitals all over the United States overnight" quickly spread. But soon it was discovered that these "field-wide" battlefield hospitals were actually in Slovenia. The authors of these messages deliberately dropped the Slovenian flag on the photos in order to confuse the audience.

In fact, the U.S. military has indeed begun to imitate the way of the "cabin cabin hospital" to convert school dormitories, hotels, and stadiums into temporary hospitals in New York and other places. However, Lieutenant General Todd Simeone, commander of the US Army Corps of Engineers, said the work would take three to four weeks to complete, and it would not "rise overnight."

Today, the epidemic in the United States is very serious, and the speed of transmission is increasing. Here, of course, we hope that the American people can overcome the epidemic as soon as possible, but what we cannot tolerate is to deliberately tout or maliciously devalue a country and people's efforts to fight the epidemic in the face of the epidemic, and even to create rumors, touting the United States or other countries' "Strong measures" and trying to obliterate the efforts and sacrifice of the Chinese people in fighting the epidemic.

The hospital ships are not intended and not equipped for isolation, they are in fact to help free up capacity at local hospitals that are non-covid19 related and let the local hospitals on land accept covid-19 patients. That was the intended intention all along when Trump gave a live press conference when he invoked the defense law to mobilise the ships.

"What the ships can do: Pentagon officials have repeatedly stressed that the ships are designed to treat trauma patients, not infectious diseases.
That means the ships will help the current crisis by taking trauma cases away from civilian hospitals, freeing beds, equipment and manpower to deal with coronavirus patients.
"Our understanding is that the intent is that the ships will be used to take non-coronavirus cases," Joint Staff surgeon Brig. Gen. Paul Friedrichs said at the Pentagon briefing."
