(CNN)As the number of Covid-19 cases pushes medical facilities to the brink, one hospital has taken an unconventional approach: treating patients in its parking garage. Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada, has turned its parking deck into an "Alternate Care Site" in an effort to serve additional Covid-19 patients. Since opening up last month, the site has already served more than 200 patients. It's not conventional, and Dr. Jacob Keeperman, a doctor who works at the site, recognizes that. "(It's) a place I never thought I would take care of a human being," he told CNN's Erin Burnett last week.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — In the Nevada desert, a cryptocurrency magnate hopes to turn dreams of a futuristic “smart city” into reality. To do that, he’s asking the state to let companies like his form local governments on land they own, which would grant them power over everything from schools to law enforcement. Jeffrey Berns, CEO of Nevada-based Blockchains LLC, envisions a city where people not only purchase goods and services with digital currency but also log their entire online footprint — financial statements, medical records and personal data — on blockchain. Blockchain is a digital ledger known mostly for recording cryptocurrency transactions but also has been adopted by some local governments for everything from documenting marriage licenses to facilitating elections.

WASHOE COUNTY (CBS13) – A stroke of luck and swift action got a missing Davis couple back into the arms of their loved ones after being stuck in northern Nevada. The couple – Diego Salido and Kira Ann Clapp – was found by an off-duty Washoe County sheriff’s detective sergeant camping in the area on Saturday, authorities said. According to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, the off-duty sergeant was miles away from his own campsite when he located the couple with their disabled truck. “Nobody knew that they had been missing or anything until about Wednesday or Thursday,” said Stacy Sorensen Ochoa, Clapp’s cousin. Davis police said the department took the case last Thursday for the couple. “Of course, all kinds of scenarios go through your head at the beginning,” Sorensen Ochoa said. But, Sorensen Ochoa told CBS13 that they have a strong family and had faith that the couple would be okay. “It sounds like they had gone up there initially for a two or three-day Valentine’s … [Read more...] about ‘Things Could’ve Turned Out Differently’: Family Of Missing Davis Couple Relieved After Northern Nevada Rescue
