That’s less than one bed per million heads, country-wise. I think the militaries of many rich countries can do the same today, scaled for population (they will use containers, but that’s what was used for that Chinese hospital, too)
I also think many countries could do something similar (ignoring technical progress) in 1918, given they had had ample practice in world war 1.
