Seemed to have helped the last time they did exactly this. So I don't see it as an overreaction or completely irrational. Reports say that the makeshift hospital they built in record time for SARS in Beijing turned out to treat 1/7th of all the SARS patients at the time. And judging by the projected infection rate numbers, and their medical infrastructure already being stressed so much by a load that it probably wasn't designed to handle, building these hospitals could very well be a good move. > Where the heck are doctors and nurses going to come from? Do they have excess trained people just hanging out at the mall? I'm sure there are regions that aren't facing even remotely the same crisis as Wuhan, where they can divert resources from. It's really not a huge deal. Unless you want to make the claim that all of China is going to succumb to this such that a diversion of resources wouldn't be possible at all? That's a stretch.
