Get a whole bunch of people seeking a Wuhan Flu vaccination and cram them into one place.
From The Seattle Times:
Lumen Field Event Center opens Saturday as huge COVID-19 vaccination clinic; here’s how it will work
Almost exactly one year ago, the cavernous event center between Seattle’s two pro sports stadiums was transformed into a 250-bed military field hospital, complete with surgical rooms, intensive care beds and a radiological unit, an emergency stopgap in case Seattle’s hospitals were overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients in the nation’s first coronavirus hot spot.
On Saturday, the event center, which has changed its name in the intervening pandemic year, will open as a mass vaccination site, capable of vaccinating more people in a day than nearly anywhere else in Washington and, hopefully, hastening the end of the pandemic.
They are starting small but have plans to ramp up:
Once vaccine becomes more readily available — and hundreds of millions of doses are expected nationwide in the coming months — officials say the site will be able to vaccinate 22,000 people a day, seven days a week. That’s about half the daily shots that are currently being administered by all sites in Washington combined.
And we will see how many cases occur because of the crowding. Someone feeling the symptoms might decide to get vaccinated so they do not get the whole brunt of the infection. This will have zero effect - if you are feeling it, you are already infected and spreading the love. If you are not infected, the vaccine takes a couple of days to kick in so being exposed when you are getting the jab? I do not know but I am betting that the infection will trump any vaccination and that you will get it.
If you look at the website, you will see that they have people queuing up through stanchions in a zig-zag path - just the thing to hang out less than six feet away from Typhoid Mary.
Oh - and by the way - that 250-bed hospital? It was never used. Didn't see a single patient.
