You claimed it was never for Covid patients, Dumbass.President Donald Trump agreed Monday to allow the U.S. Navy’s 1,000-bed hospital ship Comfort to be used to treat patients with the coronavirus to relieve pressure on New York City’s strained hospital system
“We don’t need the Comfort for non-COVID cases, we need it for COVID,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany, N.Y. earlier Monday, when he announced he would ask Trump to let the ship take that role.
At Monday evening’s coronavirus task force briefing, Trump said the ship would be used to treat patients from New York and New Jersey.
“It is set for COVID … hopefully that will be very helpful to both states,” Trump said.
The Comfort, which is docked on Manhattan’s West Side, previously was deployed to the Big Apple with the understand that it would not treat patients with coronavirus.
The ship until now has been used to treat just a handful of patients without COVID-19, leading to criticism that the ship has been of little or no help with the hospital crisis in New York. The state is is the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States.
In a phone interview on MSNBC, Cuomo said that he spoke with Trump after his own press conference and that the president granted permission for Comfort to accept COVID-19 patients.
Those patients will first go to an area hospital and then will be moved as needed to the Comfort.
The ship was send to NYC without authorization to treat COVID patients UNTIL Gov. Guomo asked.
So, the fucking off would be you.
Glad I could educate the ignorant.
