We had one of our hospital ships parked in NY Harbor. Cuomo did not have to take the path he did.

Trump curse!!!!!

[SamAdams76]

Correct. President Trump took a naval hospital ship and docked it in NYC harbor where it went unused. Only because Cuomo did not want Trump to get any credit at all. So he sent sick elderly people back to nursing homes to die while infecting others who died also.

All to deny Trump any kind of "victory" for just wanting to help.

Cuomo deserves whatever is about to happen to him, and then some.

[wewereright]

So is it possible he let people die because he didn’t want DJT to get credit for providing the assistance? One can’t be too cynical when dealing with democrats.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

where did all the ventilators cuomo demanded end up?

[Paleo Pete]

Yep. But don’t ask Snopes, they call it misleading, and claim only a few patients were sent there due to bureaucratic red tape. Why did I think snopes just might be honest for once??? Must be the pollen...maybe I need to switch to decaf...

But it was there, and you are correct, Cuomo did not have to send one person to a nursing home.

Even CNN admitted it.

Not only the 1000 bed USNS Comfort (182 patients), but also the underutilized 1000 bed Javits Center-turned-hospital (treated 1094 total patients). Cuomo wasted precious resources at his disposal while killing off nursing home patients.

[ealgeone]

And Franklin Graham had Samaritan’s Purse there with fully staffed facilities to help yet cuomo turned those down because of the Biblical position held by SP.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Yes. The USNS Comfort was there and portable hospitals at the Javits Center and in Central Park ordered byPres.Trump. All unused because Cuomo didn’t want him to get credit. Cuomo deserves jail time.

Wonder why he did that? Several reasons come to mind.
Money involved in any of them. But how?

Exactly. I want ONE reporter to ask Cuomo why he did not utilize ANY of the Federal assets given to him by the Trump administration.

Bastard.

“We had one of our hospital ships parked in NY Harbor. Cuomo did not have to take the path he did.”

The hospital ships were there to take non-Covid patients. The ships are too difficult to disinfect but they would free up brick-and-mortar hospital beds. That almost all elective/non-Covid hospitalizations were canceled means that they went mostly unused.

At least, that’s what I heard at the time.
