Remember the USNS Mercy? The one that the CIC had to get prepped and deployed to Gavin Newsom in an eye blink to prevent all of the hospitals from a massive overload that never happened?
How come it’s impossible to get any information about how many patients have been treated on the Mercy or how many are currently in the hospital?
Some crew members have tested positive for CV19, *but*, according to NYT, that will *not* affect Mercy’s ability to treat patients.
What is up with the secrecy, Gav?
Contrast with the USS Comfort stationed in NY, at the behest if Gov Corruptocoumo. It is a simple matter to find out that the Comfort is currently occupied by an overwhelming 71 patients.
What are this ships costing us per diem? How many patients have been treated on the Mercy? How many are on there right now?
Do any FReepers have this info?
Don’t know.
It wasn’t needed.
Probably we’ll see it on a foreign assignment next.
The Comfort left or is preparing to leave NYC. It saw something like 190 pretends over the 3 week deployment that was supposed to last all summer due to the “surge” that would overwhelm NYC.
Yes indeed.
So, the ships were used to rescue trafficked kids dragged here by unrelated illegals? I’m actually cool with that.
Yeah the Comfort we know about, that was easy to find. It’s the Mercy that has me stumped.
After $2 trillion plus in new spending, what matter does it make? (apologies to HRC).
It’s not the spending, it’s the numbers. How many patients have been treated and why is this such a big secret?
the last i read the ship here in L A was full of seniors from nursing homes - i don’t know if they have virus or are being protected from it.
The Comfort is returning to base.

You ask questions that are more appropriate for a search engine. Your vanity reads like a request for research assistants.
Let’s wait and see if either ship docks at Gitmo.
65 patients. The crew is getting CV.
The only thing I have been able to find is that a small team of doctors is there working at a land-based hospital to assist, but no mention of the ships utilization.
Which completely contradicts the NYT story and is false.
Can’t liars ever get their stories straight?
Why oh why is it always the * Daily Mail*?
Finally, some numbers from the USNS Mercy as of 4/14/2020. What is the big secret over there?
As you can see, the governor of the nation-state of California made yet another great call sucking up an enormously expensive and valuable resource for nothing more than self-aggrandizement.
Ok, allow me to clarify.
The NYT story didn’t say that crew members were *not* getting WuFlu. It says that they would *not* stop seeing patients because crew members become ill.
Which is just simple logic. It would have been silly to have deployed without being prepared for that possibility.
It’s enormously important to consider California’s demographics. Not only is it overflowing with illegals from Third World Countries, it’s also a popular destination for Chinese.
After the travel ban of 1/30/2020, Chinese continued to enter the state via Canada and Europe.
Add to that the growing consensus that CV-19 was in California by November, maybe even October, how can we account for the astounding lack of bodies piled up in the streets (excluding LA, of course)?
Simple—naturally acquired herd immunity which was rolling along quite nicely until democrats found a crisis to exploit.
Without herd immunity, we would have been wiped out decades ago by some plague or another.
Therefore, the *worst* thing we could have done was *lockdown*. The government, led by Dr Fraudci, created a nation of Petri dishes.
The collateral damage is staggering and heartbreaking. Here in Knox County, Tennessee, the suicide rate has exceeded CV-19 mortality.
Nationwide, suicide prevention organizations are reporting a spike in calls, some up to 350%.
Domestic violence victims, including those innocent hostages known as *children* are trapped with their abusers. That is going as you would expect. The damage to helpless little ones—incalculable.
And, then there is substance abuse. Those *virtual happy hours* are not so harmless. Alcohol consumption has skyrocketed. The relapse rates for those struggling to maintain their sobriety are up, which is a true tragedy.
And all because dems saw the chance to gain political advantage.
The really sad thing here is that we no longer hang these people. Slowly.

It’s treated only a few dozen patients since its arrival. And now it’s dealing with a growing number of COVID-19 cases among its crew.
More than a half dozen crew members have tested positive. The Navy said they have been isolated off-ship, as have a larger number of personnel who came in contact with them.

This is the latest I have found. They are being made to be idiots on this one and are trying to cover it up.

“USNS Mercy doctors, nurses and corpsmen sent to Fairview Developmental Center to treat patients” Saw this headline in the OC Register. Fairview is in Costa Mesa. You may like to put it in your search engine, I’ve used up my allotment of free articles.
It’s also sad that now that more is known — or at least can be known with thorough research — that restrictions are not being removed. What fascinates me is I told my wife Trump needs to give guidance to the states and that’s exactly what happened. Unfortunately those guidelines are not based on correct information.
And it’s sad that the medical profession, at least many leaders such as Fakesi and WHO, is shown to be corrupt. It’s good that the corruption is revealed; it’s bad that it is corrupt.
In a bigger picture, somehow God is using this. For the first time since the original, Passover in Israel was celebrated in personal homes. It’s remarkable that the 2 ships Comfort and Mercy were on either coast. May God’s comfort and mercy blanket our land.
