In Germany it will take 15 years to build a hospital. True bureaucratic hell on planet.

In fairness, just about everybody could emote “In $country it will take $year to build a hospital. Grumble grumble.”

What you should be asking yourself is how prepared is $country for an outbreak of a virulent pathogen? And; given its preparedness (1) how quickly could an area be cordoned off and quarantined, (2) how quickly could a makeshift medical structure to house an appreciable number of patients be slung together?

In Germany people have rights and that complicates things, yes.

People's rights are not what's stopping BER from being finished. People's rights aren't what set the Elbphilharmonie so far behind schedule and over budget.
