Reno Hospital Alternative Care Site Used To Claim Pandemic Made-Up

With cases of COVID-19 surging in Nevada, social media posts calling the pandemic a made-up crisis are circulating.

Users are sharing a photo from an alternative care site in Reno that makes it appear no one is using the facility.

Renown Regional Medical Center, which operates the auxiliary site in a parking garage, has been a primary target of other false claims suggesting hospitals are empty in the state.

Nevada recently surpassed 150,000 coronavirus cases. President Donald Trump shared the photo Tuesday in a tweet criticizing election results in the state.
