This field unit for Corona virus patients under construction on a soccer field outside Seattle.

And this has emergency room officials fear being overrun when the virus peaks.

We have patients who we suspect that we have Kobe but have not been.

The testing is not completed because the testing is taking so substantially.

Long are I see youse are already at capacity before this pandemic began, and now we're pushing them over.
