Coronavirus patients spend night on Navy hospital ship meant for non-infected New York patients

[CNBC] The Comfort is supposed to treat patients with conditions other than COVID-19 to free up space in overwhelmed New York hospitals.

The 1,000-bed hospital ship, which arrived in New York Monday, has treated 27 patients as of Saturday morning, according to a Navy spokesperson.

Hospital leaders in New York City have criticized the Comfort’s deployment for not accepting COVID-19 patients and failing to provide tangible relief to strained hospitals.
Who the h-e-double-hockey-sticks signed off on the transfer order? Not their name, their ears.

Multiple coronavirus patients have been accidentally transferred to a New York military hospital ship that was meant to be virus-free

Less than five patients with the virus were transferred from the city's Javits Center to hospital ship Comfort on Friday, which has received 21 patients

At the time, screenings did not indicate they were positive for the deadly virus

However, the patients were swabbed and put in isolation upon arrival to the boat, per the ship's protocol

By Saturday morning, all the coronavirus positive patients were taken back to the Javits Center

#2 Our government is aware that the Chinese Communist Party claim that COVID-19 is a wet market natural mutation is total bullshi*. The aggressive steps taken to insulate and protect our fighting men and women, particularly ships at sea are obvious. Our military is in the crosshairs, possibly the navies of Russia and Europe as well.

#3 Innocent mistake or it is hard to test. Move the intensive care to another ward and carry on after cleaning. It will happen. Be easy on people now please.
