The Army Corps of Engineers is working to stand up at least 25,000 hospital beds

As the number of COVID-19 infections in the U.S. has surpasses the 200,000 mark, states and cities are scrambling to come up with the bed space to treat not only coronavirus but the everyday illnesses and injuries that already stress hospitals’ capacity.

Over the past week, the Army Corps of Engineers has awarded eight contracts to build space for about 10,000 beds, its commanding general told reporters Friday, including the conversation of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City and the McCormick Place Convention Center.

“I have said several times: This is an incredibly complicated situation,” Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite said. “We need a very, very simple solution.”

What has emerged is a plan that can be shared and scaled across the U.S., he said, converting convention centers, arenas, dormitories and hotels into medical centers, tailoring each site to treat infectious or non-infectious conditions based on the local need.

Those include State University New York at Stony Brook and Westbury, Westchester Community College in New York state and TCF Center in Detroit, with a mix of facilities designated for treating COVID and non-COVID patients.

Trump's tie is solid red and Pence's has the stripped colored tie today. First day of this month that Trump isn't wearing a stripped tie.

Pence's tie likes interesting. He is the only one (that I see) that has a stripped tie today. I wonder what the colors mean.
