In this week's comments update, readers are divided over China's decision to rapidly build a hospital for the treatment of patients with suspected coronavirus.聽
Emergency services: news that the government of China is rapidly building a 1,000-bed hospital in Wuhan in order to help contain and treat patients with coronavirus has sparked debate among readers.

"The virus is spreading faster than concrete hardening for a shed. Why not convert existing halls, sheds, warehouses, schools, etc. into makeshift quarantines"" asked Spadestick.
Jacopo continued: "The term 'hospital' has been used a little bit loosely. It's a medical shed for 1,000 beds. It's like making a camping tent in two hours and calling it a 'villa'". "Well they don't sit around and discuss it for years... they just get on with it," responded Marmite.

"This will be an isolation facility, not a full hospital, which makes the task magnitudes less complex, but still quite a feat to pull off. Rather than 'Yeah, but this', let's just watch and learn."
This reader coined their own name for the hospital:
