From what I understand, space isn't the only limiting issue. You might find more space with some difficulty but you cannot suddenly produce more nurses and doctors, many of whom are overwhelmed or themselves ill and out of commission.
Yeah space really isn't the problem at all. It is nurses and doctors and oxygen. They have nurses - who are supposed to treat 2, maybe 3 at a time - treating 30 people at a time.
That makes sense, but then I think about the military. Don’t they have a massive medical force? They are not _all_ doctors and nurses (although many are) but all are highly trained and could serve here. Why not deploy them to the current battlefield?
I think you might be underestimating the fragility of the human being in so many aspects (2020 might be trying to teach us something in that regard). Consider how alcohol has a very negative (often disastrous) effect in so many lives, even though most people start drinking thinking they understand how alcohol is going to affect them and that they can keep it under control.

You might read the actual tale of Little Red Riding Hood. It is very much meant as a guide for young girls in what to expect and watch out for in life.
This comment got my interest but I don't see anything linked here that's written by Yuval Harari. I can't tell if I've missed something, or if you're referring to another book called Sapiens other than Yuval's, or something else.
"The closer you get together, the more you like each other? There is no evidence of that in any situation that we have ever heard of. When people get close together, they get more and more savage and impatient with each other. [Man’s] tolerance is tested in those narrow circumstances very much. Village people are not that much in love with each other. The global village is a place of very arduous interfaces and very abrasive situations." McLuhan
As the one who posted the link, I should explain that given twitter threads have no title, I simply copied the first line of the first tweet as the title. I see your point, though.
"But Dr. Ben Neel, director of Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, told The Post that 'cancer is multiple diseases, and it is highly unlikely that this company has found a ‘cure’ for cancer any more than there is a single cure for infections.'
He said that 'more likely, this claim is yet another in a long line of spurious, irresponsible and ultimately cruel false promises for cancer patients.'"
