Why can’t we build hospitals like China did for the Corona outbreak?

This may be a stupid question but why can’t the US do this if the hospitals are being overloaded because of the virus? China built 2 in 2 weeks. They don’t have to be permanent, just a MASH unit to help things out. I’m assuming it’s because of a shortage of equipment like ventilators.

We can. But it would require active military. We aren't there yet

Why can't people cook bats and dogs like China did to cause this?

Have you ever seen the building codes required for a hospital? Unless you mean more akin to a military field hospital.

You're gonna need about 29 permits, and the issuing agencies are closed due the Corona.

Didn’t one of those China hospitals collapse?
10 dead
ETA- 10 dead in collapse. What’s the death rate here?

They flipped the PMAC and Fieldhouse into a military field hospital in about 24 hours following Katrina.
My hope is they have plans to do this in critical areas to treat non/less emergent people.

I'd never walk inside a hospital built with this kind of stupidity

Because they don’t have lawyers just waiting to file a lawsuit if the motherfricker collapses, bursts into flames, causes a measles outbreak, hurts somebody’s feelings, doesn’t have gender neutral restrooms, hasn’t been tested for asbestos, or if a minority isn’t the first person treated, etc....

They're going to be using Chicot Park as a type of field hospital/quarantine zone. The Ville Plattians are hilariously outraged.
