It's a private hospital, it's more of a hospice, it's reported that most victims were bedridden senior citizens with terminal diseases who can not move by themselves to safety. this hospital may break some fire rules and those who own and manage it will be punished. The whole Chinese social media is crying for blood now.

Regulations, if there aren’t regulations, there should have been regulations in place to prevent these kinds of incidents. If there were regulations then there should have been inspectors to make sure private or public companies are adhering to the regulations.

Such a tragedy.
