A tent is partially assembled in a University of Mississippi Medical Center garage, Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2021, as the conversion of the parking facility into a field hospital begins in Jackson, Miss. The current wave of the Delta variant of COVID-19 is overburdening the hospital, causing them to make the conversion, capable of handling 50 beds. In addition, the Level 1 trauma care facility is receiving temporary federal medical personnel to augment the Medical Center's staff. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)
