Sorry for such a huge pic, but to clarify the GWCC temporary hospital location. It is located in Building A in one of the three exhibit halls within Building A. There are currently NO events planned in Building A for January and February on their schedule <click here>. Their event schedule states that Cheersport Nationals will take place in Buildings B and C. This temporary hospital is NOT A WALK UP FACILITY, patients have to be approved and they enter through a specific entrance that goes directly into the exhibit hall where it is contained. I would imagine, although not sure, they would block off the Building A walkway to Building B to prevent people from aimlessly walking around in Building A.
What would deter me, is if the surrounding county hospitals (Henry, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Fayette, Butts, Jasper, Newton) don't calm down quickly from the holiday's. @quietmom posted the GA Coordinating Center Map for Patient Distribution and they have done a fabulous job at keeping the hospitals usually bouncing within the Normal, Busy, and occasionally, Overcrowding status. With the holiday's hospital traffic has gone up substantially as it always does, and many surrounding hospitals are in the Overcrowded to Severe category. That effects care, and to me, needs to get back down so our hospitals, staff and supplies are not overwhelmed. I would imagine the hospitals will probably start calming down in a week as they usual do, and the reason they said the temp hospital would remain open through January, but the maps are worth watching IMO. Accidents/health emergencies happen and time matters.
