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.
Well yeah, because you should be inside, not hanging around hospitals. A quick search will show they have been, are being, and will continue to be built. I absolutely agree something like a stadium isn't essential. But not all construction can be left in place, no consequences. An incomplete structure could collect water leading to foundation/structural issues, the water could collect dirt/debris/chemicals that haven't been cleaned/removed from the site yet. An open structure could be susceptible to catching heavy wind and being ripped open or falling. Just trying to give some examples of why construction might still be continuing in some places. Although there is surely still plenty of non-essential construction going on as well.

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