We have a new HVAC system which is so nice
The seasoned hospital in my town has been around for the past many decades.
A lot of the construction is obviously seasoned despite their unsuccessful attempts to modernize the campus over the years. For a single thing, there was a mold concern affecting more than 2 wings of the seasoned hospital so they had to tear down that area and rebuild. The concern is that the air going through those sections of the hospital were on shared air systems with the rest of the hospital. So in actuality, the remaining wings of the hospital were potentially exposed to mold spores from the area that was torn out and rebuilt. I can still smell the mildew smell on that hospital, and this is years after the supposed “repairs” were made to the then affected wings of the hospital. I assume the whole hospital is affected at this point. Thankfully, a brand current hospital was built on the opposite side of the town over the past 2 years and it’s finally open. This current hospital had the benefit of being designed and built after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic so they created rooms and wings that have isolated air by design. Even the individual rooms in the emergency room all have isolated air systems in them. If a single patient has COVID-19, the isolated heating and cooling systems will prevent that virus from genuinely spreading to other patients. That’s unfortunately what happens in nursing homes that lack isolated ventilation systems for their cooling systems and oil furnaces. I assume much safer being in the current hospital as opposed to the seasoned a single, especially when I recognize back to the mold problems from before and never wanting to get exposed to that again willingly.
