USNS Comfort Hospital Ship Was Supposed to Aid New York. It Has 3 Patients. - The New York Times
“It’s a joke,” said a top hospital executive, whose facilities are packed with coronavirus patients.
Such were the expectations for the Navy hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort that when it chugged into New York Harbor this week, throngs of people, momentarily forgetting the strictures of social distancing, crammed together along Manhattan’s west side to catch a glimpse.
On Thursday, though, the huge white vessel, which officials had promised would bring succor to a city on the brink, sat mostly empty, infuriating executives at local hospitals. The ship’s 1,000 beds are largely unused, its 1,200-member crew mostly idle.
=====================================================
This is a Navy ship. I blame the Commander-in-Chief - Trump - for the lack of an adequate resonse here. 'I'm not responsible' - Donald Trump.

It's a single hospital ship out of what, two in the Navy? USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) and USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) The US Navy -- Fact File: Hospital Ships T-AH
Each has a 1000 bed capacity. One is currently in NYC.
NYC has 63,306 confirmed Covid-19 cases as of this time/date 1:20 PM EST 04/04/20. United States Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tracker
What did you expect?
The ship was said to be intended for non-COVID-19 patients only in order to relieve the strain at NYC hospitals.
And? It is what it is.
YOU "blame the Commander-in-Chief."
What's the gripe?

Blame Cuomo. He should be coordinating with the hospitals to move less serious patients to the ship.
Good that they take their time, unless you want to do a rush job and do the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.
And? It is what it is.
What's the gripe?
Ambulances cannot take patients directly to the Comfort; they must first deliver patients to a city hospital for a lengthy evaluation — including a test for the virus — and then pick them up again for transport to the ship.
there is not a high volume of noncoronavirus patients. Because most New Yorkers have isolated themselves in their homes, there are fewer injuries from car accidents, gun shots and construction accidents that would require an emergency room visit.
They are working things out.
It should fill up soon.
A thousand bed capacity. It's been there at least a week. And only 20 patients on board? This is a military facility. Where is the Commander-in-Chief's direction?
Blame Cuomo. He should be coordinating with the hospitals to move less serious patients to the ship.
Thank you. :applaud
Trump is not "in charge" of what's happening in either NYC or NY State.
There is a city Mayor named De Blasio, and a state Governor named Cuomo.
As Trump has said, the Federal government is providing support to the State and Local governments. But he is (currently) letting them do their thing.
Seems like many people want Trump and the Feds to take over completely. Funny when many of those same people can't give him credit for anything, but are fully willing to lay all the blame on him.

What's the gripe this time?
And how many people will die while they 'take their time'?
