Chicago's $66M coronavirus hospital treats just 38 patients: Pastor says situation 'very unfortunate

“But, we see taxpayer money being spent and not used properly. $66 million and 1.7 million per patient is a lot of funding,” Brooks said, commenting on the city spending $66 million on an emergency hospital that only treated 38 COVID-19 patients.
According to Chicago Sun-Times, the federal government covered 75 percent of the costs, while the city denied that the money was spent in "vain."

Not in vain, in vein...not sure whose veins that infusion of cash went into, but no doubt they were mainlining it. (Prolly BLM, who kicked back a bunch to the pols).

I  used to have a friend and business client, that was a Project Manager for building hospitals.

He said it was quite specialized, to provide for high tech equipment.

So the cost per room is very likely quite high.

So, how did the patients do? What were the outcomes?

Ok,I want to know where the money went. It damn sure wasn't spent on hiring staff and buying hospital equipment. There is no way in HELL you are going to get doctors to waste their time working there when there is no work coming in.

Figuring out who stole the money in this case shouldn't be all that hard to do.
