> hospitals will be turned to hospital rooms

There is a logical mistake in this sentence.

A fun fact: "hospital", "hostel", and "hotel" all come from the same Latin root (brought into French and then English at different times https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hospital#Etymology).
I'll be honest, it won't be much work, and should be done quickly.
Turning a hospital into a hospital room? That’s going to require some serious Time Lord engineering.
They could tear down all internal walls to make each hospital into one large room. That would be very counterproductive, but they could.
