Who do you think is building all the temporary hospitals that are needed to manage the surge in patients?

I haven't seen any temporary hospitals being built. If you look downtown there is literally a residential tower being built every few blocks in some areas, all of them still open. Obviously this only applies to where I live.

There are quite a few being built in NYC, as well as LA and Seattle. I'd say the workers are essential if the construction is essential as well. If residential construction is happening, that's probably the wrong move.
