AI standing in public squares during a storm and getting sick is this a Bug or is the AI intentionally this stupid?

So I had a very stable city set up managed to get all the homes properly heated however when a storm hit I started seeing people getting sick at an alarming rate none of the buildings were cold or chilly and those I couldn't maintain I pulled the workers out of prior to the storm. The one thing i did notice and I think this poses a serious problem is that a large number of people were out side their homes standing in a city square.... I mean ..... seriously?? the AI has the option of moving to a warm house and waiting out the storm but they actually prefer to stand outside in a public square getting sick..... As I cannot find a way to heat these spaces as there are no insulation upgrades for them and even with a steam hub they still remain cold during more severe storms (actually there are a fair number of buildings that lack insulation upgrades and do not have heaters) additionally there is no way for me to "Close the Space" so essentially what i am seeing is a situation where any public space that cannot maintain it's temperature must be demolished before a storm otherwise it poses a major health hazard simply because the AI is too stupid to stay home ???

There is currently a "bug" of sorts where even though Hunter Huts / Flying Hunter Huts are "Disabled by the storm", the hunters are still inside all night, and since there is no heating there, they get very cold, frostbitten, ill.

But yes, the squares are a problem. I'm sure the developers will address this. Keep in mind the squares were mostly a "beauty afterthought" for the Endless mode.

yeah but if they kill or sicken half the population durring storms it is still a issue. Perhaps a storm warning button that when you click it forces the AI to seek shelter in a heated location or return home if not actively working or at the very least a way to close public spaces if needed. I mean i made it about 50 days in endless without many people getting sick than i started putting gardens squares and other decorative things and now its a plague city with only two faith healing centers and a single care house ...... all because of AI stupidity

I was able to recover and spent my steam cores on 3 advanced coal mines populated by automatons so after that i just put steam hubs everywhere and left the generator on max all the time but even than the squares still get cold during some storms

Can confirm, this is still an issue. Kind of wish I'd picked Faith instead of Order for this endless run. Maybe the field kitchens would help.
