Bill de Blasio's 'crucial' $52 million coronavirus hospital treated 79 patients

A $52 million coronavirus hospital once billed as “crucial” by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio served a total of 79 patients before closing May 13.

An exposé by The New York Times details the bureaucratic debacle that unfolded after the temporary hospital was rushed into existence at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

The piece by Michael Rothfeld, Robin Stein, and Susan C. Beachy covered “missteps made at every level of government” soon after the hospital’s April 10 opening.

“I basically got paid $2,000 a day to sit on my phone and look at Facebook,” a nurse practitioner told the newspaper. “We all felt guilty. I felt really ashamed, to be honest.”

“Knowing what our patients had to endure in an overcrowded emergency department, it’s frustrating how few patients were treated at facilities such as Billie Jean King,” added Dr. Timothy Tan, the director of clinical operations at the Queens Hospital Center emergency department.

Government only rewards failure. DeBlasio performed spectacularly. Any failures brought to light will be excused due to lack of sufficient funding when and where it needed to be, and to the people who had too much individual liberty and would not comply properly.

I am sure he stole the $52 million and then put put in infected people into nursing homes. It was cheaper to kill everyone.
