(CNN)With the number of people with Covid-19 being admitted to hospitals rising, several states are looking at their supply of beds.
On Wednesday, an overflow medical facility set up at the Wisconsin State Fair Park in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis received its first patient.
"We are thankful to have this facility available to Wisconsinites and our hospitals, but also saddened that this is where Wisconsin is at today," Gov. Tony Evers said. "Folks, please stay home.

The facility will take patients who meet specific criteria, and doctors and nurses there can give remdesivir and oxygen treatment, according to the governor's statement.

Of course, Trump will say the problem is that CNN is reporting this increase, rather than expressing any concern about the rise in hospitalizations, particularly in States that he has been holding rallies in like Arizona, Wisconsin and Florida.
