Why haven’t cities in the US started constructing temp hospitals/care units like those that were built in Italy/China if they believe the virus is going to overwhelm hospitals?

Because the feds are failing us. The national guard and army corps of engineers should be putting up temporary field hospitals wherever they can

Generally doesn't work that way. States would need to take the lead on building facilities.

Unlike China, we don't have as strong a central government that really drives everything, which is why we're seeing such varying responses from one state to the next.

That said, now that the national state of emergency has been declared, that allows ACE to potentially be utilized.

LA took over Dockweiler State Park RV Lot for a quarantine place. That’s the beach next to LAX. My parents got a cancellation notification for their reservation.

They will also use areas like the convention center, staples center, etc. for field hospitals if needed.

Hoboken put one up last week on 4th st across from the hospital. They are truly leading the way with how they're handling the situation.

We don’t have an endless supply of medical professionals

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
