Will the pandemic deplete Medicare funds?

Medicare Part A, which is automatic once one is enrolled in Medicare, is for hospitals.

Thus, with the majority of infected being seniors, does Medicare cover the hospital staying?

I think that as Congress is debating a new stimulus, that Medicare funds spent on Covid 19 should be replenished.

Or, am I off base?
