The ships are not being used for over flow. They are only for Non Covid patients. Hospitals are for Covid. That way they can keep them separated.
I know. The fact that there’s next to nobody on the ships shows that the hospitals have not needed to move anyone, yet.
My understanding: the hospital ships are only treating patients without the coronavirus. If they are using the old test, it takes a number of days to get the results. There are reported more patient aboard now.
