New York health officials were warned in writing that a Brooklyn nursing home where 55 patients have died of coronavirus was overwhelmed weeks before it began topping the states official list of resident COVID-19 deaths, damning emails show.
Cobble Hill Health Center CEO Donny Tuchman sent a desperate email to state Health Department officials on April 9, asking if there was a way for us to send our suspected covid patients to the hospital built inside the Javits Convention Center or the US Naval hospital ship Comfort the under-utilized federal medical facilities on Manhattans West Side.
We dont have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients, Tuchman wrote in a chain of the emails reviewed by The Post.
He was denied.
Donny Tuchman, center, thanks local Cobble Hill residents for their support April 20.Getty Images I was told those facilities were only for hospitals to send their overflow patients, Tuchman said.
At the time Tuchman sent his plea, only 134 of the 1,000 beds at the Javits Center were full and the Comfort which had just been reconfigured to treat up to 500 COVID-19 patients had a mere 62 on board.
Adding insult to injury, the Navy hospital ship wound up treating just 179 patients before Gov. Cuomo on Tuesday said it was no longer needed.

Why give a Sh*t whats on Drudge?
Not what I heard. I heard/read that Covid patients were inadvertently sent to the ship which was set aside for regular patients.
Once that occurred the ship HAD to be for Covid patients after
But this way the RATs and their lapdog (ChiCom owned) media can blame Trump for all those deaths.
I was just responding to a post that said this should be the lead story on Drudge. So I asked if it was on that site.
Heartless.
To deny Trump any credit for healing them. If they die, you can keep people locked in longer.
The Comfort was never sent there to work with the C-19 epidemic. It was there to handle patients of other illness or accidents so the NY hospital beds could be used for the C-19 patients. The same process was done in LA on the Mercy.
In the beginning, a patient couldn’t be taken directly to the ship until it was determined they didn’t have C-19 by NY and then transported. After a week, the Comfort had 20 total patients while the Mercy had 15. Waste of money and time. It took over a week before the ships were even allowed to check a patient’s temp to determine the virus. Neither ship was supposed to work on C-19 patients.

And the same day Trump allowed C-19 patents to come on board, one of the crew tested positive. When it rains....

$4. re the refusal of Cuomo and DeBlasio to use requested federal aid (USN Comfort, Javits Center, etc), “Forget it Tom, it’s New York”.
Appalling incompetence by Cuomo https://t.co/lThjaX3i6t; Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 24, 2020

This had nothing to do with simple incompetence. And imo, it should be criminal as in accessory, to even try to label it as such.
1. When a state gov has bought votes and played giveaway to grotesquely ridiculous degrees with the pension payola games...
2. And such games have under all the old federal bosses been more or less easily covered up by playing shell games, drawing ever more federal funds through pretend emergencies and fake NGOs and charities that serve only to funnel money to the cronies of the state gov...
3. and then there’s a new boss that isn’t putting up with that crap. You’ve seen other places start getting hammered for the games you *have* to play to keep things afloat...
4. And the state gov is managed by absolutely amoral, degenerate, depraved, self worshiping sociopaths...
How would you assume they get out from under a whole lot of that pension cost?
You’re right.
Finally, someone who knows what they’re talking about.
COVID-19 patients were never to be sent to that ship.
Don’t count on it..
Amen. I hope the families can somehow file suit against these despicable inept human beings that uninformed ignorant citizens (or non-citizens) have voted in to their tyrannical powerful positions. This is so evil in so many ways.
Maybe they can all join together for a class action suit.
Praying so.

How awful...
If someone’s Mom or Granddad was among those poor people who died they must be devastated at the neglect of their loved one by the NY officials...
Most of those deaths did not have to happen...
The virus patients sent to the nursing homes were all ages and not previous nursing home residents...
They were dumped in the homes amongst old people who were not already sick...
I went to the Drudge website for you and was quickly reminded why I now never go there.
First, you’re instantly bombarded with an ad that won’t disappear. Drudge used to have ads around his page you could click on—not forced onto you. I had to exit and click back on. This must be something new with his alleged new owner.
Next, one of the many anti-Trump headlines read “MAG: TRUMP NOT WELL”.
Sorry, that’s how far I got before I exited his site.
Drudge is an enemy of freedom.
You know, Drudge’s newfound love for tyranny makes me think that the guy has been blackmailed.
