What about all the doctors, nurses, etc who are not busy because their elective surgery patient numbers have dropped off significantly. Maybe they can be retrained to take care of C-virus patients.

A few showed up but they wouldn’t bite when I told them I tested positive.

[Uncle Lonny]

Good enuf fer government work.

Trump and the military is destroying the hidden world of child trafficking. The ships are there to treat the children that are being saved.

[Nifster]

Isn’t Andrew going to confiscate it??

[Tucker39]

Those ships are only for NON COVID-19 patients. They do NOT want to contaminate those ships with CV. No clue why they have so few patients. I suspect we’ve been played, and that the system isn’t as stressed as the fake media has been saying.

[Flaming Conservative]

Gee, I wonder WHO is telling EMTs NOT to divert non-covid symptomatic patients to the Navy ships? Union officials? State or local officials? SOMEBODY is. Trump needs to jump on this with both feet!

[Balding_Eagle]

The ship Comfort has to be somewhere, why not in New York harbor if for no other reason than to shut Cuomo’s yap?

Bubonic plague was not spread by human-to-human contact. It was spread by flea-bites and the fleas were carried on the black rat.

[SuperLuminal]

This is good news!

It will clearly identify the CDC admins and docs using their "hockey stick" graphics for phony, budget-enhancing predictions...

In the Soviet Union days, this would have assured them getting long stays in sunny Siberia...

[Antoninus]

Maybe DeBlasio wants to use this opportunity to kill of the old and the weak of heart to cut down on medical costs post corona?

Keep in mind, the people running the states in the Northeast and Cali are those who think that social problems are caused by too many people and that the solution to social problems is less people (via birth control, abortion, euthanasia, etc.)

Don't think that in private, they aren't secretly happy that the rolls of those using social services after this is over will be significantly less. I had one particularly hard left colleague say as much out loud.

You can thank the CDC officials and doctors for pushing fake models on the American public and Trump administration!”””

We all knew that the TDS that began 3 years ago was going to cause real trouble due to the absolute uncontrollable RAGE that presented, but we didn’t know how. Well now we know. The evil leftist politicalisation of EVERYTHING has resulted in a course that has already run the country off the cliff. All that’s left at this point is the crash below and how much damage is done.

I am pretty sure that doctors associated with hospitals are doing rounds regardless of their jobs and specialty. Here in Chicago all doctors and even medical students are being put to work unless they themselves are at risk. We have several doctors and medical students that live on my block and all but the one who just went through chemo are working 8 hour shifts at a hospital instead of seeing their own patents. Many are getting exposed. And when that happens they are forced to quarantine. Which is why they need lots of doctors.

[Freee-dame]

Doctors, nurses, techs, EMTs, cleaners and all hospital workers are truly heroes these days.

I said obvious. He was very active and seemed to be in good shape.

[SecAmndmt]

“He was very active and seemed to be in good shape.”

Means little.

Many prescription medicines for chronic problems put the lungs at higher risk, from my reading. And if your friend had low vitamin D blood levels, and low B1 levels, and low A and C levels, and if the infection turned into pneumonia or mycobacterium/tuberculosis, he might have been high risk.
