How China Built a Hospital in 10 Days
25 555 Weergaven 2,7 mln.
They had it all planned out yupp ✌️
... in my country you need 1 year for the bidding process and 2 years to lift the restraining order filed by the failed bidders just to start the construction...
NLlike doesn't seem to be recommending this one for some reason
I respectfully reject this theory. I strongly believe this virus was MANUFACTURED in a lab. NO ONE "ate some wild animal" come on, get a grip!
so they more assembled a hospital in 10 days
Need to make one thing clear. This is how it works in China. Government: we need to build a hospital! Everyone: we are on! People did it willingly simply because they understood the situation and had trust in the government.
Thank you so much for making this video, we need world to know more about real China government and Chinese people work hard to do the right thing , western media please stop talking shit about China 🇨🇳, the world need peace and love ❤️
You are not just helping to spread the virus, but worse still, helping to spread LIES about the origin and cause of the virus.
Scientists already show covid19 starting appear in Italy since september 2019, never mind, your westen media knows better than scientists, that`s westen nowaday, how ironic, for only three centuries proud in human history, westen decline slowly by their own hands, your enemy is those capital vampire and professional liar in your country, if you lose, many years later, all of your live will control by few giant enterprises, just like cyberpunk story
This was very interesting and impressive. I listen to these videos while doing other things. The narrator talks so fast, I catch more if I slow down the playback speed.
When 1,000 bulldozers show up overnight.... And no "red" or "blue" political divide in China, everyone is united... Chinese can build anything fast.
It's called Pre constructed building. Just like folding paper.
Actually we have not found 'Patient Zero' yet, we may never find it anyway....
I cant believe this video is already over a year old. I remember when it came out
I just find it funny how so many people in the comment section are acting like they know more than the actual Chinese living in china lmao🤣 we don't always agree with our gov, but surprise surprise, Chinese are not stupid, we know if we really contained the virus or not and we can see it with our own eyes. Some guys are like ArRrgh cHinA sO biG tHerE mUst Be LiES😂 cuz apparently you know more. Ok, whatever.
Lol 😆 yeah just like the tofu hospital that fell down on all those people when the typhoon hit it? Wonder what corners they cut to meet that time line
@C Adkins show me what kind of building your country be able to build in ten days? nllike.info/baby/video/oHub24OolHWez4Y the world's long high-speed railway network is made in China, if you qualify it tofu, show me something equivalent in your country which is not tofu,
@Emile Chen are you denying the fact tofu buildings exist?
blind loser,
Btw, some of your footage shot in decades ago during SARS.
Dude, he literally said that
Beijing：Let's focus on saving people! Washington: Let's figure out how to lie to people!
Why are there still people who believe China lied on numbers? Come on... I live here with a completely normal life, in Taiyuan. Just ingore those stupid rumor plzplzplz they just can't believe an "evil" party like CCP can control the virus so well, but their govn can't.
Well done
people actually take this seriously? i got it, just a mild flu. Chill bro
If only the rest of the world would take this virus as seriously as China did just a month after finding out it exists.
many thanks to sinovac that stimulate the vaccine development competition. now the world have many types covid19 vaccine
hahahaha they suprised, bravo china!
Watching this 11 months later any remembering the better times when it was actually taken seriously. In the UK everyone was freaked out by the first 100 cases in the country and barely anyone left their house. Now we have many more cases than than and people don't care. *sigh*
Why is everything happening in china
How china built propaganda network to 'say that it built a hospital ' ;In 10 days
Wow this was one year ago???
lol it me
Salty Americans saying that China is torturing it's workers and that their buildings are awful while having 0 documented sources or proof to back up their statement. Get out of your bubbles, China is the future.
the stuff was put together today pogchamp
China builds hospital Uk builds Eat Out to Help Out and surpasses 100,000 deaths
They just build a train station in 9 hours
Did it also last 10 days like Harbor tools?
Meanwhile, Denver International Airport is still under renovation
It's easier to build it when you have prefabricated detention centers for the uighurs.
In Jakarta if you want to fix the sidewalk it can take thousands of dollars and it’s not done until now lol
bruh why didnt the u.s do this a year ago
The nutritious cereal naively continue because roadway conceivably rot astride a soft men. lame, melodic beat
China: takes 10 days to build a hospital America: Takes 1 year to build a Hospital Grenada: *takes nearly 12 years to build a hospital*
The chinese hospital is not build as the standards we have here in the west. That would be impossible.
And now 1 year later, even with studies around the world shows that coronavirus was already circulated among the western countries, they still try to scapegoat Chinese. Skin biopsy Sample from a Italian women 2019 September found with coronavirus RNA. Spanish scientists found Coronavirus in March 2019 waste water samples French fishmonger's flu samples in November found to be coronavirus USA CDC red cross donation blood samples from October November 2019 across the country found with 13% with antibodies. 2019 October USA only E cigarette lung deaths must be investigated!!! Those 5 American soldiers with flu syndromes who participated Wuhan world military sport game October 17 to 28 but got fly out by military aircraft must be investigated!!
We have not decided whether to wear masks after 10 months.
Same here, but masks isn't everything.
治国齐家，平天下/一屋不扫何以扫天下。有国才有家。5000年以来经历无数的战历史的重演我们中国人更懂和平的重要。中国文化始终以国为家，中国人爱家爱国爱和平。
It is simple for us, if you can organize a country to build an aircraft carrier in time limit, this is just an easy job
most point in this video is wrong, and if you see this comment you have just kissed @Wendover Productions ass
watching this video after a year of the outbreak, I am very grateful to be Chinese. The whole action from the Chinese government is the perfect demonstration of the principle of people's lives is the top priority! There are pain and tear during the fight against the virus but eventually, we won, and in such a short time! Our government have the courage and wisdom to fight the virus as hard as we can so we can get back to normal life as soon as possible!
@swagnemite well, you Americans couldn’t manage it when it got to your country
@swagnemite I think you are pretty wrong, you should check the timeline on how soon China alerted the WHO. From what we have seen later, even China has told the world earlier, no country would react like China, just look at the U.S. and the U.K. now.
China didn't let it's people tell the outside world of the virus , to keep up the charade that everything is fine in china. This is why it spread
I wish I could have been born in China. My parents are Taiwanese (unfortunately the kind which hates mainland China) and being stuck in the US as it falls apart, we're all really envious of your government which actually works.
At this point, I think it's less of a "Wuhan coronavirus" and more of an "America coronavirus".
However,bats don't catch this virus.No one knows where the virus come from.
@Badhari Raj. lmfao, did US even allow WHO to get in US to do any investigation? So before US allow any investigation, you have no evidence to prove the virus is from China period. When China discovered the virus in Wuhan, Chinese government locked down Wuhan, what did western media say? “No human rights!” When China blamed the whistleblower doctor who posted “SARS virus found in Wuhan” on social media to avoid people from Wuhan to panic and run outside of China to spread the virus. western medias say “ China trying to hide”. So you are the one should definitely stfu when you have very little knowledge about what’s happening.
@超级大王子 china’s fault* yes.
Chopp King, good job! What you say is correct, China just has better testing conditions. It is even possible that the virus started in America ( why do they have so many cases?) and they just didn’t find out about it! It is totally possible.
@Chopp King ik you’re going to do the same thing to others who have speculations about China too, so here’s my piece of advice. STOP, stfu. No ones gonna change their minds now. Almost EVERYONE knows that virus came up in China and IT IS CHINA who was irresponsible here, and they ain’t gonna have a different opinion.
been 1 year already, how many countries have their state of their art hospital?
有一说一 ，GCD的组织能力和动员能力不是一般的牛逼
Ok why is there Soviet union flags in the bottom right corner 8:45
Specifically it is the flag of the Chinese communist party It differs from the soviet flag as the handle for the sickle is just a circle unlike the Soviet flag which has an actual handle
O
It's just the flag of communism
oh memories
Amazing Video
China #1 love from Taiwan province！
不用说台湾省，本来就是一家人不管是国，还是省，永远一家人✌️
I'm come here to laughter you all who think Chinese ate bat cause the virus. US found antibiotics in American blood samples back in December 2019 before the virus be found in China.
@bydamaz you mean antibodies?
And Italy found antibiotics in blood samples collected back in Sep 2019. You can search in Reuters news.
@king oli No. The virus was adapted to humans when it popped out of wuhan. Meaning it never evolved to circulate in humans; it was PRE EVOLVED! American scientist worked closely with the WIV to produce the virus. CCP will never let this get out. The west has been overthrown by techno communists.
Antibiotics are for bacteria not viruses while the human body produces them also not, that would be anti body´s from the immune system and seems like it was acutely some bad bat soup.
Perhaps you should visit the "hospital" they built. Don't believe the hype. It was not and still isn't a functioning hospital. Its a shell with no working toilets and no medical facilities. Its a building with beds in. This is more like a pro China piece than what it is build on reporting the actual facts
lol, just because is not shown, it doesnt mean it doesnt have btw, its been one year, do you have even an hospiital? at the parking slot?
In the meanwhile, let's not forget those independent reports who are still in jail (Zhang Zhan) and gone missing after arrest (Chen Qiushi)
满嘴跑火车，乱跑个个医院的为啥不抓? "citizen journalists" arent real journalists with no real credentials. Theyre just grifters, and as the capitol hill riots sjould prove... 没文化真可怕。
最好让西方媒体继续歪曲中国发展和实力，这样我们有更多的时间超越他们，我们感谢这些媒体，因为他们在给它们的国民洗脑和麻醉哈哈哈哈哈
对。同志你好，我来自战忽局英国分部
china is quite strong nowadays, the only bad things about them is the ccp and lots of karen in the country . Definetely A for their effort in dealing with an outbreak and also eating bat.
Indonesia boooleh
One month is not a lot to ID a completely new virus
this video pleases the CCP
The western media are just salty, meanwhile in south east asia we see the crap coming from the west and stands with china in RCEP and BRI
Crazy how almost immediately after this video was posted, we saw just how shoddy the construction of that hospital was, with flooding and power outages.
@CourierFour oh yeah let me just suffocate on my own fluids at home instead of you know, having a fighting chance on a ventilator. This is like saying "oh seat belts dont work 100% of the time so let me not wear it at all" But also, everyone staying home for 2 months is why the pandemic is controlled in asia compared to the UK/US.
@Mist Literally staying home would have been better than going to that hospital you muppet.
tent hospital > no hospital, pull ya head out of your arse muppet.
May the hands of your men never blister
Good work highlighting some of the good things China did during the pandemic. All you get from mainstream Western media nowadays is:- China bad, China wrong & China steal.
As long as comments that are beneficial to China~! IN THERE deleted or cancelled, this is called freedom of speech and democracy.MY ACC NO film NO attention >~! WHY YOU KNOW!!
Misleading information : "Someone ate a bat and caused COVID 19" PLEASE STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION Neither the source of the location nor the original carrier of COVID 19 remains unknown as of Jan 2021 according to the WHO and international science communities.
it started in Wuhan lol. u can tell where a virus starts. ur not an expert so stfu. i listen to experts
Trump had disliked this video 🤣
US leaves this corona alone in middle 2019 with elec-smocking，until it explored in China in beginning 2020，ok，you win the second time after Spain coz your media still controlling and brainwashing in the world today，but we chinese people will remenber it。
Forced Labour.
Volunteered labour, it's an honour to do something for collective when people in need.
With all respect, the Chinese can't do it without human power and technology from Taiwan!!! And Taiwan managed to have the lowest number of cases without building a hospital. How about that?
They just used creative mode
11:13 it didn't... but it did for the rest of the world. Worst, I'm living in the rest of the world
CuriosityStream is annoying af. just ended my subscribtion due to it.
maybe I just consume to much caffeine but even on 2x speed his talking speed is painfully slow
these days China will lockdown an entire city for testing if one case is detected, they did so with Quingdao which has a population of 9 MILLION
When Rosie the Riveter is a Chinese construction engineer.
way better than USA LOL
Imagine having re-education camps
Meanwhile I heard the UK built a hospital for the purpose of treating Covid19 patients, but didn't take in patients Covid19 or otherwise, they didn't build toilets with it, apparently now it's shut down. Now the infections are soaring.
China 10 days to build hospital. U.S 1 year to discuss stimulus package smh.
Imagine having re-education camps
Do they produce doctors with the same speed as they build hospitals?
they can mobilize all the experts from other region to wuhan
2020: China temporarily sacrifices economy and builds hospitals in 10 days to save people. 2020: USA sacrifices humans for 1 year to save the stock market.
@Mich K The US also murdered hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan, millions in Vietnam and in 2020 sterilized immigrant workers in concentration camps, in addition to having by far the worlds largest prison population.
@Luca Adams-Agresti France has them, too. The U.S. just bombs them. I think it's better to re-educate radical terrorists. I can only imagine what the USA would do if they suffered hundreds of terrorist attacks in the midwest. Not re-education that's for sure. They murder their own civilians everyday just for disrespecting police officers.
Imagine having re-education camps
Meanwhile in America
@Charles that’s a pretty outright claim to throw out there, can’t really respond to that without evidence. Referring back to the prisoners though, I want to mention the amount of prisoners of American’s facilities vs the amount of Uyghurs in Chinese ones. America did it on a lesser scale to enemies of the state, then they a banned it. China does it to 1 million people that share a religion and hasn’t banned and refuses to talk about it in UN conferences, telling the council it was “rude” to ask. With the number of uyghers tallying up it’s impossible to not compare it to what Germany did to Jews.
@Luca Adams-Agresti Obama sure, we have no idea what trump is doing. Trump is Bush x 10
@Charles As a presidential candidate in 2008, then-Sen. Barack Obama vowed to roll back President George W. Bush’s controversial interrogation and detention practices. Soon after taking office the following year, Obama appeared to make good on those promises, ordering the closure of the Guantánamo Bay detention facility within a year and banning the use of brutal interrogation techniques. Even if they weren’t banned, those were prisoners rather than people who have different religion which it what china does. Both are terrible and I wish Bush had never allowed them but now they’re banned and it’s better. China refusal to remove itself from communism and its authority while depriving citizens of democracy will lead to everywhere being like Honk Kong now, it always has. It will take a while but no ruthless authoritarian states have been able to eat all the freedom forever, look at monarchy’s in Europe.
@Luca Adams-Agresti images.app.goo.gl/iugWCfUrMgYxe4Fq9
@Charles evidence? Also I have evidence for mine if u want it
how to organize 1.4 billions people to work with a single direction CCP knows.
what funny is that the process is streamed on Chinese TikTok
On a beaucoup à apprendre en construction de la part des Chinois . Qu’est-ce qu’on attend pour apprendre !
Le monde n'était pas serieux lorsqu'il ont contruit ces hôpitales, maintenant on paye le prix...
Sure its great they built a hospital in ten days :). Oh wait, didn't they also ban domestic flights during spread of COVID but did not ban international flights so that COVID could be spread throughout the world? Sorry China, don't care that you built a hospital in 10 days. *shrugs*
@Mist Which country are you from
@Mickey you seem to be confused about outbound flights, literally no country has jurisdiction to ban outbound flights. Its called a diplomatic incident when you do. Statistics also shows us thst travel bans do not prevent, rather they delay pandemic spread, the US had 3 months to prepare, instead your president made bat soup jokes and told everyone that it was just a flu. Finally, you still have a large number of idiots who cant seem to grasp the concept of "putting something in front of my airway helps reduce the chance of something getting in." You can blame Trump for literally 90% of the covid infection around today.
@Nicky Liu I appreciate that, you learn new things everyday. Thankfully our president did ban immigration into the US from China and Europe in the earlier stages (even though he was called a "racist" for it)
@Mickey I say it again: it is your country's responsibility to ban travel *from* China and other countries on the list, not your country to ban travel *out* of your country. And I have to correct my previous statement: the new mutation in England was discovered in September, but the UK government didn't bother to share with the world until they couldn't hide it anymore. And even then, they didn't ban outbound travelling. It was other countries banning travel from UK. (I know you can't predict how the new mutation behaves, just like at the very beginning in Wuhan. I'm just playing the reverse card here.)
@Nicky Liu You don't think they had a responsibility to with the full knowledge of what was happening to the citizens of Wuhan, whom they were breaking into their homes and dragging them out by the feet?
It is amazing what kind of goofy stunts the CCP will try to pull of, to try to make them, and "China" look good. They are the center of a pandemic. They did not close down their airports for outbound traffic. They did not handle the situation in a good way at all. Limiting information, limiting everything. Wasted time trying to cover it up. Lied to the world. It is a mess, and we should just leave China. The Cons outweighs the Pros. So it is time to leave China behind in their own failing economy.
Plot twist : nobody told that the hospital lasted also for only 10 days 🤣🤣
Hypothesis/food for thought. Was it certain that it was a bat being eaten? Because Nipah started with either bats infecting humans through meat, or fruit. There could’ve been a straight vector of bat to humans... but as far as I’m concerned there was not consumption of a bat in that case. I’m not updated on Chinese culinary culture... but this is more of a question posed... is there a potential for this to come up again if this was perhaps consumed meat that was contaminated with the novel corona virus strain? If so.. where’s that source of meat and is there considerable ecological species interaction of bats to domestic animals? Could it be fruit that is contaminated, with similar interactions stated in the previous sentence?
Watching this 10 months later. China has outpaced #covid19, not vice versa.
its like its built in minecraft
Meanwhile in my country people are busy making baby
It's NOT appropriate at the beginning to state conclusively that covid-19 started from people eating bats when there is no credible scientific proof yet .
Thanks for stating the truth. But noticed that 大纪元 was one of the sources you use to make the video. Just wanna say it’s a notoriously biased news source.
China is lying, it just built a shelter..
让人困惑的是，当你试图向旁人证明自己观点的正确性时，不是摆事实讲道理，而是反复强调自己已经结婚、玩过乐队、会6种语言，对了还有你的身高体重，这些能证明你的观点正确吗？当你攻击其他人的留言时，你用的理由又只有他的英语很差？没人想知道你结婚没，没人想知道你会几门语言，更没人想知道你长多高有多重，这和你的评论有屁的关系啊，请问你的大脑是因为学的语言太多导致其他部分都退化了吗？ 对了，看你考过HSK，想必读懂中文问题不大，欢迎辩论哦，不过下次评论前请略过你的身高体重，你是188cm还是1.8cm我一点兴趣都没有呢
@Expert lmao...
@Expert This sentence makes no sense in English. An American would use a totally different expression. At 188cm 93kgs I am anything but slim... use the BMI calculation. Do you not know what a BMI index is? Such poor education! 1) He can't speak English properly 2) Doesn't understand basic body-height to weight ratio math...
@Peter M I say you are walking pasta and possibly a box of old and expired walking pasta.
@Expert I will prove it to you. Here are 4 questions: Which expressions would you use if : You give someone your opinion about something? You have a bunch of things and one of them is not good, how would you call that thing? When you study a subject but only managed to see the beginning/the intro? When you have left a dangerous or troublesome situation, what would you say?
Let’s just hope it doesn’t fall like a Stack of cards
@Expert nop, we r still learning how to put a fucking mask on.
thank you. it is standing there for 10 months now. you can relax. btw did US or Canada or Aussie build anything like this in 10days?
Looking back now 10 months later, it can be seen how effective and successful were the efforts were in combating Covid-10 and avoiding the horrors that are unfolding in the US and Europe now.
The problem with China and why others don't like to believe because there is one party rule, any opposition either die or jailed, they even restrict what people can access. And there uses so many propagandas that it's hard to distinguish between true and false. And as western countries, although they are not perfect but atleast there are transparency. People are not monitored everyday who they talk to. There are no bans on social media sites.
u are brainwashed so deeply
