Is there supposed to be bars on the windows?

That’s “value added service”, Chinese Gov. style…

The bars on the windows give it a slightly less welcoming appearance, but I’m sure they have reasons.

China does not fuck around when it comes to quarantines.

Someone noted here the other day that security and containment will be as if not more important than medical care at this facility. As I tend to agree, my guess is that they are bars. The Chinese government has a lot of experience doing rapid builds of prisons for the Uighar population, after all.

The other possibility that the bars on the windows are there because as a stacked pre-fab structure, the bars help to prevent the windows from being damaged during storage/shipment/and assembly.
Look at how someone ships you your next fragile item and look at how it is packaged.
Security may be an issue, but broken windows during shipping would likely be a larger one

Is that the UN building or an old school phone switch board that Jesus is hanging out at?

Where’s the gift shop? Grandma wants a People magazine and some slippers.
I guess, it would be a Peoples magazine.

And one SKU for both “medium security” and “don’t care about security” types.
In CGTN Channel, you can also witness a New year show with thousand of drones.
Only problem, it never happen this day in Shanghai there.
Nor the day before, nor after! Never ever.
The video is a compilation of test day and complete CGI.
Few people spotted group of drone north of this area 2 weeks before. It’s not clear why the show never happens.
No one present on the 31st of December along the Bund in Shanghai saw it.
It’s only on CGTN !
Keep going the fake news!
More than a million views for something completely fabricated.

It’s also managed by the army, not by public health bureau.
Nothing to worry.
2 Million in re-education camp in XinJiang and the world approved.
So we can have the same in Wuhan now.
I’m going to disagree (https://boingboing.net/2020/02/03/incredible-time-lapse-video-of.html) there’s a few seconds in the middle where you can see workers building the outside wall in pieces. The windows would be shipped and installed separate. If breakage was a problem they would crate them differently. The bars are a design choice, not a reluctant design compromise.
