Golly. I thought this was going to be about a hospital ward in sub-saharan Africa, some abandoned corner of Asia, or even a VA hospital here in the US.

I'm glad people care, but for me, these are first world problems compared to drug shortages, inadequate facilities for water and sanitation, missing diagnostics, payroll shortfalls, and so many things.

Sadly, though, these are not problems that programmers can do much to fix.

I empathize with your compassion but I've downvoted you because the existence of worse problems shouldn't preclude all other discussion.
