The Comfort was sent to take the burden of non-COVID patients off of the NYC hospitals. They are not there to take on infectious patients.
For whatever reason, non-COVID patients are not being transferred .... which makes one wonder if non-COVID patients are just not receiving care, or if the hospitals are not as slammed as the media is reporting, or maybe I should say would like us to believe.
In the meanwhile, The Gothamist has written an opinion piece on the Samaritan’s Purse hospital; however, despite their ‘cocktail party opinion’, when you get down to brass tacks, the issue is “to breathe, or not to breathe”. I suspect that most people, given that choice, would go to a Christian hospital and accept their help, rather than drown/suffocate in their own lung fluids. If you have ever seen an air hunger panic attack (I have and it has profoundly affected me), you know what people will choose.
Samaritan’s Purse COVID-19 Field Hospital Slammed for Christian Agenda

“Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian disaster-relief charity, sets up a 68-bed respiratory field hospital in Central Park to handle the overflow from Mt. Sinai Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some New Yorkers tell Gothamist.com they’re leery because the Christian organization employs Christians to deliver on their medical mission of mercy — not only motivated to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, but with an anti-gay and/or Islamaphobic agenda.”
Nice job by Bill Whittle, Scott Ott & Steve Green in talking about this in the video.
Q: If a non-WuFlu patient gets transfered from an NYC hospital to the ship, the NYC hospital loses money, right?
No treatment, no money.
Hmmmmm.....
