We're still sending our tests to the CDC to be performed, so I don't think anyone has a good idea on the conditional probability involved.

Doesn't every state have vote by mail already? The idea of showing up in person to vote seems so laughably quaint, haven't even heard of that in like 15 years.

Oh right: voter suppression.

If they tried to cancel the election the lawsuits against it would be immediate.

What would really happen will be some cobbled together online system, mail-in voting, or door-to-door voting by people in hazmat suits.

If they aren't going to make election day a mandated nationwide holiday then voting should be done via mail anyway.

Yeah the US has never, ever, cancelled an election. Not even in the middle of the Civil War. Speculating that the election will just be cancelled instead of US elites seeing it as an opportunity to shovel billions of dollars at some friends who run an online voting firm is just dumb.

That's the thing though is there's no reason for them to cancel an election, they could easily use it as an opportunity to rig the election (no voting booths in poor neighbourhoods because of coronavirus! Rich people can vote by mail! Online voting through firms run by Republican operatives! etc.) but cancelling it is extremely unlikely. Like, so unlikely that it's stupid to talk about it like a serious thing.

There are two separate hospitals that were rapidly built. This video is from the one that was finished first, and it's a little more than a large open space with a bunch of beds. The hospital you are talking about is the one that took about 13 days to build, that one has isolation wards that do not open from the inside. (However, that hospital was recently damaged by rain.)
