An emergency field hospital is being set up in Central Park by Samaritan's Purse, an evangelical Christian humanitarian aid organization, in response to the growing coronavirus pandemic in New York City.
Volunteers from local churches helped the organization's church set up a 68-bed respiratory care unit in the park on Saturday, the organization said.
A disaster assistance response team, including doctors, nurses and other medical personnel, will soon be on the ground as well, according to the organization.
“People are dying from the coronavirus, hospitals are out of beds, and the medical staff are overwhelmed,” Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, said in the announcement. “We are deploying our Emergency Field Hospital to New York to help carry this burden.”
Patients will be coming to the field hospital from the Mount Sinai Health System, according to Samaritan's Purse.

It will be interesting to say the least to see how many people end up there.
I’ll wager most of this stuff WILL NOT BE USED! I’ll also wager we’re going to have respirators out the wazoo!
It will be an intense experience for the patients, but the weather should be mostly pleasant for the next three months.
If this occurs, then you probably aren't hooking them up correctly!!
Look at Italy. They have a 10+% fatality rate because their socialized medicine was overwhelmed and BoomerRemover kicked in. If Cuomo wants to go to the WH, BoomerRemover better not kick in in his state.
Since it’s in a highly visible and public space, they’ll make sure those beds are filled ASAP.

Clearly more training is called for! ;-)
Only 68 beds...
IIRC, Trump has some history with construction in Central Park.
And 68 people who will see the love of Christ shown to them and likely hear the gospel.

Just more gaslighting the people to make them think this is the worst thing ever. It’s like the Navy ships Mercy and Comfort that bring ridiculously small number of beds compared to whats available.
Hadn’t heard the term “boomer remover” before. It’s kind of funny in a morbid way, and I’m a boomer myself.
All the comforts of prison, and the chance to be mugged.
Probably so, but if we were going to panic, this was the way to do it, rather than this ridiculous Chinese fire drill.

They could probably donate (sell) extra ones that we don’t use, and after proper inventory levels are established.
Boomer Remover? The oldest boomer is 74. Average age of the dead victims in Italy is around 81. Nice try though.
