Maybe the New York hospitals aren’t really overwhelmed.
CDC - Too Busy Fighting Climate Change rather than Pandemics.
Cuomo got his way. He should be embarrassed....but of course, he’s still waiting for the apex.
Well they cancelled all elective procedures. People must not be out shooting each other - yet.
The writer misunderstands.
The governors asked for hospitals believing they could not be provided. The hospitals were provided and there is political egg on the gvernos faces
THe whining about models is just that....... whining by ignorant, disgruntled critics
That includes the science challenged Rush in Spades. Yesterday, Rush jumped his self made shark
Relax.
Between Fauci and a couple Governors....they should be totally embarrassed.
Of course this is happening! These POS’S are doing this because if they sent the people to the ships for the COVID-19, then the people will thank Pres. Trump for sending the ships, and the Democrats will never allow that to happen!!!!
Fauci AND TWO GOVERNORS.
Instead of being thankful we find a reason to be angry?
Actually, I read that the process to get patients moved to the hospitals is slow, because the purpose of the ships is not for virus patients but for other people who need hospital care. This, theoretically, would enable them to provide more beds in the city hospitals for virus patients.
However, the patients have to be screened - and they also have to test negative for COVID. So it’s slow.
There is also, of course, the nagging question of whether this was really necessary, since there are other hospitals in New York State that have an abundance of available beds and no massive virus outbreaks to fill them.
The ships aren’t treating Corona patients. They are there to handle the overflow on every day stuff as ships are really hard to disinfect. We have seen this with the crusie lines.
Laura Ingraham had two doctors on last night. One of them stated that the ship is not yet used because the hospitals in New York have not reached capacity. Ship not needed, yet.
some people have to turn on a light to find their way to the master bath in their own house. Andrew cumou and Bill De Biasio come to mind.
The hospitals in my area are being hit hard financially because they have NO patients, and all elective surgery and minor healthcare has been eliminated.
The same thing happened in Puerto Rico after Hurricane María. After much carping by the Democrats, they sent the Comfort to the island. The boat actually sailed from port to port around the island looking for patients. Having found no takers, it sat in San Juan harbor for a week or two, seeing very few patients, mostly small cuts, hung nails, and one woman in labor. It left without any fanfare after everyone realized how ludicrous that was.
If someone is purposely not routing patients to the ship, they should have their sorry rear ends thrown in jail.
This news along with 3M selling masks overseas instead of providing for US needs is really irritating this morning.
The rules to get on the ships are too stringent so people are being turned away. They are fixing it.
We have been chasing this 2 weeks away form doom for about a month now.
Cuomo wants the ship to handle his Covid patients, BIG mistake. Keep them in the Javits center.
