I use a Mac and Safari browser, and couldn’t read the large image at all - only a small edge. Not sure what the ultimate solution is, but I wish FR would somehow make images fit properly ... have a great day.

I call bullshit on this. The hospital ship sitting in the East river is being vastly underutilized per another report.

The Comfort is not meant for COVID19 patients. It is meant for those needing hospitalization, but not virus people.

So my question is this -
If it is spreading to other states as the curve is flattening in NYC, will he send some of them to the hardest hit states? There needs to be a plan in place for that because it appears that there is an expectation of peaks at different times in different states.

The answer to the libs pushing single payer will be in the stats for the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands when all is said and done. The libs will try to point to Germany, but their system is a public-private hybrid, not single payer. Switzerland, another public-private hybrid, is also doing well.

The New York region (New York, New Jersey, northeastern PA) have over half of all cases.

The only other serious outbreaks are in Michigan and Louisiana.

The U.S. government said employers slashed over 700.000 jobs in March, bringing a swift end to the nation’s 50-year-low unemployment rate.

Not only did U.S. employers slash over 700,000 jobs in March, they brought in President Trump to use a knife to personally slash each worker as they were laid off. He left afterwards saying, "If they bleed to death then they won't be unemployed any longer and I'll look good again! Where's the next bunch?"

LOL. I’m really surprised the author missed that critical bit of info!

Have you thought about writing for the lib rags and papers? Sounds like you are perfectly qualified.

Cuomo failed miserably, had a chance in 2015 to stock the shelves with ventilators and passed.

It gets worse. This shitbag is stealing medical supplies from the people Upstate who did not vote for him (Cuomo won just 14 counties out of 62 in NY), and demanding that our hospitals and NURSING HOMES accept Commie Chinese Flu patients.

“Nursing homes that have been taking extreme measures to keep out COVID-19 are now going to have to accept new residents diagnosed with the virus.

The state Department of Health sent out a notice informing every nursing home of the rule last week.

It was not greeted with enthusiasm.

At The Pines in Glens Falls, workers found technicalities to refuse two hospital transfers this week. While they found allowable reasons to say no, their real concern was that they don’t believe they have secure facilities to separate those residents from others.

The state’s new rule was the subject of a “very frank” conversation at Monday’s conference call among all local nursing homes, said Fort Hudson CEO Andy Cruikshank.

“We don’t think it’s advisable to do it. However, understanding we are in very peculiar times, I understand the Health Department is trying to respond to the situation as best they can,” he said.

The Health Department is trying to move people out of hospitals quickly as beds fill up with coronavirus patients.
