My city turned our event center into a COVID treatment facility (warehouse-scale) but it never got used. Kind of wish they had- in retrospect, having large numbers of people sick with COVID congregating in hospitals with people who weren't sick with COVID was probably not the best strategy.

Here in the UK, we effectively turned our nursing homes into COVID treatment facilities. Thanks to the global fear of Covid, we decided that the best strategy was to empty the hospitals (discharging many old folks back to their care homes in the process), in preparation for a huge wave of the young and old, all in a critical state with Covid.

That didn't happen, but what did happen is that all the old folks gave each other Covid and died anyway.
