Did nobody read the story? This is only a temporary measure to get the gas delivery system fixed. It is apparently leaking so bad, the staff are getting stoned and babies are dying from lack of appropriate care.

The comments show you that people don’t read the articles at all and only read the headlines and make assumptions. They have ventilation issues and they’re going to take two weeks to fix and after it’s fixed they’re going to bring back online.
