So glad someone posted this!! The lyrics are beyond relevant.
There's a flu bug getting passed around
And it's Spreading like fire through the town
There's a virus holding up inside us
Everyone that I know is coming down
There's an Asian influenza
Infecting us all by the score
And it's turning into pneumonia
We must go out once more
There's a full moon howling at the night
And it's bark is much worse than it's bite
So we must go out and dance around
Yes we must go tonight
So the doctors came on the evening train
With their flasks and their caskets and vials
Mass psychosis was their diagnosis
So we all cashed our checks and went wild
There's a full moon howling at the night
And it's bark is much worse than it's bite
So we must go out and dance around
Yes we must go tonight
La Grippe!, Salsa!
First off, those are stretchers for transport, not hospital beds and certainly not ICU beds. They appear to be brand new (probably rentals). There are no vents in sight, only a couple of IV pumps and no patient monitoring.
My guess, this is an overflow ER triage for people to get tested. Nothing here will help a pneumonia patient.
