Trump administration battered by doctor for creating bureaucratic nightmare to get patients on USNS Comfort
Published 16 mins ago on April 3, 2020By Tom Boggioni



Appearing on CNN on Friday morning, two doctors harshly criticized Donald Trump’s administration for sending the Navy hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort to New York City with so many restrictions regarding the coronavirus epidemic that it is hardly being used.

Speaking with “New Day” hosts John Berman, who called the inability to fully utilize the ship as a “bureaucratic mess,” one doctor said the ship is basically worthless because no COVID-19 patients will be allowed on — but no one can be sent to the ship until they have been tested and there are few test kits available.

This is what happens when putin runs our country!

1. Little Comfort and Strained Mercy.

2. I never understood sending non CV patients there to start with

If he slips through the whole ship could end up contaminated. Ships, I would think, would be easier to scrub clean afterwards.

4. They aren't.

The ship was to take heart attack, baby deliveries, appendicitis, etc. The issue is, the DON'T want it on the ship for obvious reasons so they screen everyone for COVID to ensure it stays clean, but...not enough tests or a fast enough turn around render it useless

7. Okay.

3. Supposedly it was going to be used for other hospitalizations than corona

But as far as the administration was concerned it was a big photo op

5. Once again EVERYTHING revolves around the inacessibility & general lack of testing..

If my thoughts could deliver instant karma...
