This is why we shouldn't suspend building codes to quickly build hospitals: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/07/china/china-coronavirus-hotel-collapse/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/07/china/china-coronavirus-hotel... Maybe other than increasing bed capacity, we should do a better job of teaching people how to reduce the chances of getting complications from things like the flu and giving them the resources and support to do so, this way we can reduce the need for hospital beds. I'm talking about the importance of bed rest, fluids, etc. and paid sick leave and access to video healthcare consultations. It is amazing to me how many people are out and about while ill. In terms of increasing hospital beds- we can reuse some of the hotels that have temporarily shut for business, but more beds don't mean that we'll have enough health workers available to support the people in these beds. This brings us back to "reduce complications and don't fill the beds."
